The reason you’re looking into bunk beds can be either because:

• Your kids have been asking you about it for the last two months, and/or...
• Your kids are sharing a room and the space issue needs to be resolved.
• Beds made to order by an expert cabinet maker have a lot of options to increase space and functionality of the room. You’ll quickly realise that it’s a worthwhile investment once you begin your research.

It may seem that a bunk bed is just a simple piece of furniture. If you dig deeper you’ll realise that it can act as a bonding catalyst for your kids.

Sharing a room with a sibling will teach your kids how to compromise and figure out privacy issues from a very early age.

This quality is particularly relevant for boys as they don’t seem to be very vocal about their feelings. Sharing space with another male, especially if it’s a sibling will teach them how to open up.

These skills will come in handy when they decide to move out or live with partners at a later stage of their lives.
