Fundamental Low Twin Bunk Bed, Solid Wood, Natural

A low bunk bed built from solid wood with a simplified frame: fewer posts, no ornamentation, and a natural finish that shows the wood grain instead of covering it. The bottom bunk sits close to the floor with open access from all sides, and 14-inch guardrails run the length of the top bunk.

The finish is a genuine non-toxic, low-VOC wood coat rather than paint, which keeps the grain visible and avoids the flat, printed-wood look of cheaper particleboard bunk beds. Slats are solid wood with a metal support bar down the center and metal-on-metal bolted connections at the joints, which is the detail that keeps a bunk bed from developing a wobble after a year of kids climbing in and out.

At 80 by 54.25 by 49.25 inches it needs a real bedroom, not a nursery corner, but the low-profile design means the top bunk keeps enough headroom for most rooms. No box spring or bunkie board required; Max & Lily recommends a 5 to 8 inch mattress to work with the guardrail height.
