Are the "natural" bunks unfinished?
They have a light lacquer coating for protection - a number of our customers have sanded / painted or varnished them successfully.

What are slats and bunkie boards?
All of our bunks come with 8 slats - 4 for each bunk. To provide sufficent support for a standard twin mattress, you need a minimum of 26 slats (13 for each bunk) or use a bunkie board or bunkie mattress. Bunkie boards are upholstered boards that look like a flat box spring - Bunkie mattresses have a bunkie board built in to the base of a twin mattress.
We offer an additional 18 slats with all of the bunk beds we sell at no extra charge. If you have bunkie boards or bunkie mattresses, you can deduct $15 from the shipping as you will not need these extra slats.

Are the bunk beds made of real wood?
All of our bunks are made from plantation grown Brazilian pine for strength and resilience. Real wood, no particle board or MDF (medium density particle board).

What is needed to assemble the bunk beds?
Instructions and hardware are included in the headboard box - all you need is a screwdriver with a phillips head.

Do your bunk beds meet Federal safety standards?
Yes - All of the bunks we sell meet or beat the US Consumer Product Safety Commision (CPSC) standards. Please utilize this link for more information on bunk bed safety standards.

What other tips do you have for the safe use of bunk beds?
An adult should always supervise childrens use of bunk beds:

Prohibit children under 6 years of age on top bunk.
Use guard rails on both sides of upper bunk.
Use only the proper size mattress as recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the thickness of the mattress and foundation combined is at least 5 inches below the top of the guardrails.
Prohibit more than one person on the upper bunk
Prohibit horseplay on or under the beds.
Always use the ladder for entering and leaving the upper bunk.
Never attach or hang items to any part of the bunk bed that are not designed for use with the bed. For example, but not limited to, hooks, belts and jump ropes.

Is there a weight limit?
The manufacturer does not specify a "weight limit". The primary users of bunk beds are children, but many of our customers have used them successfully for teenagers and adults. We recomend the use of a bunkie board to provide additional support for a heavy person.

What size mattress should I use?
A standard twin mattress (39 inches x 74 inches) will work with our bunks. Please follow the instructions on the warning label on the bunk as regards to thickness of the mattress.

Can you customize the bunk beds?
Sorry, no customization. What you see on our web site is all of the items we stock.

Do you sell trundles or drawers for the bunk beds?
At this time, trundles and drawers are not available.

Are the finish colors accurate?
We aim to accurately reflect the finish colors on all of our items - But, due to differences in monitor type / settings, Video cards and printers - colors may vary from what you see on your screen.
