Stairs instead of a ladder cost floor. A ladder occupies about a foot at the end of the bunk; a staircase with storage under each tread occupies roughly two and a half feet of length along the side or end, permanently. What you buy with that floor is a climb a four-year-old can manage carrying a toy, at a 9.5-inch rise per step — shallower than a household staircase. If a young child is going on the top bunk, the trade is worth making. If the sleeper is nine, a ladder gives the floor back.
