Katie Siegel, the lead designer at Rumor Designs, says that when you are choosing a bunk bed for your child take into consideration the size of their room. You must make sure that the dimensions of the bed correspond to those of your room or else they may appear too bulky and unbalanced. Additionally, you'll want to consider whether or not your ceilings are tall enough for a lofted bed.

Also, think about how your children will get up and down from their bunks. Some models use the standard ladder, while others provide an optional staircase with steps that are deep and make it easy for children to climb up and down safely. This is particularly important if you are planning to let older children use the top bunk on their own.
