Modern Bunk Bed With Desk 10 Things I'd Like To Have Known In The Past
Modern Bunk Beds With Desks

Bunk beds that have a desk will help your child feel more organized and encourages creative play. They can be difficult to buy, especially when safety is a major concern.

Our top picks include an angled staircase that's safe and occupies less space, as well as options with a trundle under the lower bunk to accommodate guests arriving at the last minute.

IKEA KALLAX Bunk bed

Bunk beds with desks are a great way to maximize the space of a bedroom while adding some flair. These beds are a favorite among teens and children, however, they can also be put in in adult bedrooms to create a reading or study nook. These beds are a great size with plenty of space for books and other items. Some models come with the option of a pull-out desk to make it easier to work and others have an integrated desk and shelving. Depending on your needs and budget, you can find modern bunk beds that have desks made of wood, metal, or other materials.

IKEA KALLAX is a popular choice for kids. It comes in multiple colors and its simple design makes it fashionable and functional. It can be used as a single bed or a futon at the bottom. The KALLAX has an integrated shelf to store books, toys, or other items. Some reviewers say that the bunk bed is strong enough for adults to sleep on, but it's crucial to follow the safety guidelines set by the manufacturer to prevent overheating or falling off the top.

Another option is the IKEA Stora loft bed that comes with drawers and a desk. It has a similar design and comes in a variety of colors, including pink. The solid pine construction is sturdy and beautiful, but some reviewers have stated that it takes an incredibly long time to put together.

Instagram offers a DIY loft bed which uses IKEA Kallax units to support the mattress and create a frame. The creator describes it as an "reading cabin" she created for her daughters. The base is three KALLAX units stacked vertically, and fixed to the ground with four wooden posts. She also used a wooden panel to strengthen the stairs on the KALLAX units after hearing the sound of a "crack" when she climbed them. This DIY is an excellent idea for people who are interested in saving money and are aware of how much weight IKEA KALLAX units can hold.

In general, IKEA loft beds have a very good reception from customers due to their affordable prices and straightforward assembly guides. Some customers, however, have complained about squeaks as well as other durability issues.

Oeuf Perch Bunk

Unlike other bunk beds that make a bunk-room-in the-sky appear too childish, this one is an elegant minimalist. It's a more compact version of the popular IKEA design. Many reviews have praised its durability and versatility. However, it needs a high ceiling height to be practical and doesn't appear perfect in every room.

Designed to grow with kids, the Perch Bunk separates into a loft bed as well as a stand-alone lower twin bed, giving the user a variety of configuration choices. Its small footprint allows space for play and other furniture. Additionally, modern bunk bed with desk with safety tread is simple to climb and is able to be positioned on either side of the bunk.

The lower bed can be used for a floor bed for Montessori or even a fort says Oeuf co-founder Sophie Demenge, while the loft layout allows kids to have their own space to play and work at home. If you have a larger space, you can expand the staircase vertically with the Ladder Conversion Kit included.

This steel bunk is the heaviest option on our list, but it's built to last, says Fenton. "These are bunks that you'd find in the hotel. They're built like tanks." Aside from its super-sturdy design, it's also notable for being the most adaptable and affordable option on our list (the most affordable bunk bed made of wood we reviewed). It's also available in 17 different colors which makes it an excellent option for adults as well as children.

Whether you're building a bunk for your kids or yourself, the key to a successful design is making sure that there's enough head space to be able to comfortably fit both mattresses, and to allow the upper sleeper to be able to sit up in bed. Before you buy the bed, you should measure the height of your ceiling to compare it to the recommended clearances for the various options we have listed. If your ceiling is very low, you might be interested in a design where the lower mattress is directly on the ground (like the West Elm bunk) rather than floating above. You may lose some storage space underneath however it will free more space for play and reading.

Room & Board Tanker Bunk

The Room and Board Tanker bunk is a great option for those who want a bunk that resembles an actual shoe locker. It comes with a set of metal bars that slide into pre-cut holes in the footlocker's bottom and are joined by pins that resemble cotter pins.

The Tanker Bunk also features a built-in desk as well as an LED light that is attached to the top of the footlocker. The desk is a bit low for a bunk bed, and the bed had multiple spots of damage when I received it.

Room & Board Perch Bunk

If you're planning to purchase bunk beds, look for one that's built for long-term use and will grow with your children. Look for a solid construction and high-quality materials such as solid wood, instead of MDF or Particle Board.

Also, think about whether the ladder will be at the end of the bunk or angled up against the wall. Bunks that have a ladder at the top leave the bottom of the lower bunk open, which can make it easier for smaller children to climb into bed. Angled ladders can extend a little further and can be more difficult to climb but they take up less floor space than straight ladders and may be safer for kids younger than.

Another method to increase the durability of bunk beds is to pick one that has storage drawers built into the design. That gives kids the ability to store their toys and extra blankets out of sight and makes the room more organized and neat. The Pottery Barn Kids bunk bed above comes with built-in drawers and stairs. This is convenient for both kids and parents. This model is also GREENGUARD Gold Certified. It has been through rigorous tests for chemical emissions, and helps to create cleaner air, and fresher air.

You might choose a high-low bed if you're children are taller. The top bunk is a bit higher than the lower bed which lets your children spread out while sleeping. They're also an excellent choice for older children who like having a sense of privacy in their own space.


Consider buying extra-long twin mattresses or even full-overfull mattresses to fit the lower and upper bunk. The mattresses are comfortable for anyone up to adult size (including adults, eventually) and still fit in the bunks if your children decide to move to separate rooms. The Room & Board Perch Bunk is one example. It's available in twin-over-twin and twin-over-full options, allowing you to customize the configuration to your requirements. Plus, it's GREENGUARD Gold Certified and is made of birch that has been sustainably harvested to give you assurance that the product is safe for your family.
