Bunkbed With Extra Storage
If you've ever wanted a bed that doubles as a desk or has extra storage, you'll be pleased to know that there are several options available. Bunkbeds take up a lot of floor space, but they can be compact and still offer you plenty of room to spread out. You can get one that has an under bed desk or attachable shelf. Staircase units, which can double as storage, are also available.
Staircase units
There are two basic types of staircase units in bunkbeds - ones that lead up to the top bunk and those that lead down. The former is made of wood, while the latter is made of metal. The latter is placed on either the short or long side. Staircase units are designed to have ample storage space; they can act as cubbies, open shelves, or closed storage drawers. Some models are designed so that they are sturdy enough to support up to 300 pounds of weight.
Under bed drawers
If you are looking for a bunkbed with under bed storage, you've come to the right place. You'll find many choices in the Maxtrix collection of beds. These units come with two roomy drawers, both of which roll on casters for easy access. These drawers are finished on both sides for a polished look, and they feature cut-out handles that are easy for kids to grip.
Under bed attachable shelf
The under-bed attachable shelf on a bunkbed provides an extra place to store your items. It allows you to keep your things out of the way, at the foot of the bed. These shelves offer a large amount of storage space and can accommodate items up to 15 pounds. They also are aesthetically pleasing and can be installed without much trouble. Here are some tips on choosing the right under-bed attachable shelf.
Stairway chests
If you want to add a second layer of storage to your child's bunk bed, consider purchasing a stairway chest. This chest sits at the footboard of a bunk bed, providing extra storage space beneath the top bunk. The Wrangle Hill Gun Smoke Bunk Bed includes four drawers under the steps for ample clothing storage. This chest can eliminate the need for a separate dresser altogether, allowing for more room in the room.
Slides
Bunkbeds with slides are great for the kids in your life, as they combine sleep and play. Kids love a slide that makes bedtime fun, and a slide is a great way to bring the fun of the playground indoors. They are easy to detach when the children get older. And they meet all the safety requirements, too. It is an excellent value for the price, and will definitely be a hit with your kids!
