The stairs are 9.8 inches per step and the whole bunk is 49.2 inches tall, so the climb to the top deck is five short treads rather than a ladder. That suits a child who wants to carry something up with them, and it costs floor: a staircase with a storage box under each tread occupies length along the frame permanently, where a ladder occupies about a foot. The floor is what the climb costs. For a four-year-old it is worth paying.

How it lives in the room

Nine point eight inches per step

Five treads at 9.8 inches is a steeper rise than the stairs in a house, so it is a climb rather than a stroll, and it still beats a ladder for a small child carrying a toy. Have the child go up and down twice before the mattresses arrive. Anyone who needs a hand on the rail at that height will need it every night.

Every tread hides a box

Each step lifts or pulls to reveal storage underneath, which is where the staircase earns the floor it takes. Keep the top treads for what is used on the upper deck and the bottom ones for the heavy things, because lifting a loaded lid while standing on the step below it is awkward. Two fabric drawers and an open cubby take the overflow.

The folding table needs floor when open

Folded flat it takes nothing. Open, it needs clear floor in front of it and a chair, and that floor is usually the same floor the lower bunk opens onto. Decide which side the table lives on and keep that strip free, or it becomes a table that is never unfolded because something is always in the way.

Before you order

Thirteen inches of fully enclosed guardrail on the upper deck is taller than most and it is measured from the deck, not from the mattress. The usual arithmetic applies: whatever the mattress is thick, subtract it, and what remains is the rail a sleeper actually has.
