Metal bunk beds

Large families often face the problem of lack of space for placing furniture in children's rooms, so a two-story bed becomes the choice of parents in such cases. There are similar options for adults. The use of metal for the manufacture of such beds not only makes them more reliable, but also opens up a wide scope for designer fantasies.

Wrought iron bunk beds differ in a number of advantages over analogues made from other materials.

• The furniture has reliability and durability, which not only ensure a significantly longer expected operation, but also allow you not to worry about the possibility of collapse of the upper tier under the weight of a person sleeping on it.
• The presence of environmentally friendly materials used favorably distinguishes metal products from furniture in which plastic and other artificial materials are used.
• The beds have a stylish look that, depending on the model chosen, can either remind you of the elegant times of knights and castles, or fit perfectly into a futuristic design.
• Furniture is resistant to external influences, because it is much more difficult to break such a bed with any active games than a wooden one. In addition, metal furniture does not absorb moisture and other unwanted substances.

Such beds also have some disadvantages:

• unlike tactilely warm models made of wood, two-story forged beds are quite cold when touched, which somewhat reduces their comfort;
• some models of metal beds can squeak strongly over time;
• due to the high labor intensity of manufacturing, the price for wrought iron beds is much higher.

The most common type of forged bunk beds is the so-called "loft bed" format, when the second berth is located vertically above the first and completely repeats it in size, design and shape. To access the second sleeping place, a ladder is usually used, which is most often placed vertically in the middle of the bed or closer to one of its edges. However, there are also models with an inclined staircase, as well as without it. Another nuance that needs to be considered when choosing is the presence of boxes.

The largest suppliers of wrought iron bunk beds to the Russian market are Sweden (represented by Ikea) and Malaysia. There are also Russian manufacturers of such furniture.

The most popular Ikea models are:

• "Sverta" - a model-constructor for children and adolescents, which can be supplied both in two- and three-tiered form.
• "Tuffing" - a comfortable, practical and safe model for adults, equipped with wide sides and an inclined ladder. Often found in hostels and hostels.

Among Malaysian goods, the following models are most popular:

• Domini miranda - an elegant model with openwork headboards, massive racks and a minimalistic side staircase;
• DD 3005 - a simple and convenient option with a minimalistic design;
• Lara - option of a combination of a double lower bed and a single upper bed;
• Minima 300Д06 - the simplest of children's options with high sides.

Russian art forging studios often offer custom-made bunk metal beds, which allows you to embody any ideas and make a bed that is ideal for any room.

In most cases, the owners of wrought-iron loft beds note in their reviews their reliability and aesthetic qualities. Among the complaints about Ikea products, the occurrence of a squeak is most often called. Some parents also mention cases of children falling from beds that are not equipped with bumpers.
