A staircase bunk is bought for safety and paid for in floor area. A ladder hangs off the frame and occupies almost nothing; a staircase stands beside the bed and takes its own strip of room for the whole of its run. Mark the bed out on the floor with tape before ordering, staircase included, and the shape that appears is an L rather than a rectangle. In a small shared bedroom that L is what decides where the door can swing and whether a dresser still fits.

How it lives in the room

Tape the staircase onto the floor

Outline the bed and the stair run together, then walk the room for a day before buying. Most people discover the stairs have to face into the room rather than the wall, and that one orientation fixes which end of the room the bed lives in permanently.

The clothes rack is child height

A rail a child can reach without help is the difference between laying out a uniform for them and them doing it themselves. It is sized for a child, which also means it has an expiry date: coats get longer, the rail does not move.

Decorate the house frame, not above the pillow

The house-shaped top invites bunting, paper flowers and string lights, which is most of the appeal. Keep whatever goes up light and keep it off the section directly over a sleeping head. Nothing heavier than fabric belongs on a frame a child sleeps under, and anything clipped to the upper rail should be checked every few months, because a frame that gets climbed on loosens whatever is hanging from it.

Before you order

Two people and about half an hour is the stated assembly, which is quick for a bunk and only true if the parts are sorted first. Build it in the room it will live in, because an assembled bunk does not come through a standard doorway.
