I love the bunk beds, even if they do look a bit jail cell-ish.

I KIND of love the bunk beds, but I KIND of think that a kid that grows up in them needs to have it explained to them exactly how they work, since they really look very counter-intuitive in their structure, but I'd think that the logic they defy could warp one's mind about how things are made, and how they work.

Nice design. Kids are going to fall out, tho.

I think they look way too much like prison furniture. Maybe they'd be more appealing if the room were not so bare.....

Those beds cannot have been designed for a nursery. They violate federal child-safety standards.

I don't get why the beds are so unsafe? Do your kids regularly roll out of their normal twin beds?
Wondering as no one in my family ever did but hey maybe our equilibrium is good.
I think the look like train beds but having never been to prison perhaps they are more jail-like. Do they come with their own shank?

I slept in a loft bed as a kid, and I fell off the ladder a couple times, but I never rolled out of the bed. Unless the kid is really little, and would need a bed rail in general, these don't look that dangerous to me.

the lower bunk by itself would be awesome in a full or queen for a guest bedroom.

Curtis,
As opposed to warping a child's mind, I think they could spur a child to be inquisitive about the gravity defying appearance and wonder about the forces involved (instead of "the four posts hold up the bed"-done).
