If you are pricing childrens bunk beds, you may be tempted to look past a wood bunk bed in favor of a metal one. Metal bunk beds are cheaper than their wooden counterparts, but they have their drawbacks. Although their initial purchase price is appealing, metal bunk beds, they have more problems than you will find in wood bunk beds. Both have different styles available, like the wood futon bunk bed and bunkie boards bunk beds.

Wood bunk beds have fewer safety recalls than metal beds, for one thing. The metal beds aren't as structurally secure and safe as wooden beds are. There have been reports of the upper bunk collapsing on metal bunk bed sets, and this rarely ever happens with wooden beds. There are also inherent safety flaws in some metal beds where a child could become entrapped between the railings. In addition, metal beds don't start off – or stay – as well-aligned as wooden beds do.

When you prepare to assemble your white bunk beds, you'll find that wooden beds have hardware that aligns better than metal beds do. And if you do happen to find something not aligned on a wooden bunk bed, you can always just drill a quick hole to fix the problem, something that is not nearly as easy to do on metal beds.

In metal beds, the welds that hold the joints together can fail, and will have to be re-welded before you can use the bed again. Welding equipment is obviously not something that every parent has access to, so it may be a matter of days – or longer – before the metal bed can be used again. Wooden beds don't have this design issue.

A wood bunk bed will generally stay new looking for a longer time period than will a metal bunk bed. Kids tend to abuse furniture, for horseplay and the like, which may lead to the bending of metal in a child's bed, and metal can also rust or dent.

Wooden bunk beds offer a great deal more structural stability than metal bunk beds do. Metal beds tend to be more unsteady or wobbly, once they are assembled. Wooden beds are preferred by parents who want solid design and construction. Bunk bed mattresses will hold up better with a sturdier frame holding them up, so they don't sag or become less supportive.

Either material of twin bunk beds are suitable for children as far as bed size goes, but solid wood bunk beds will be able to be handed down to younger children when your older ones outgrow them. Metal beds may not even last that long, and are less suited for life as wood bunk beds.

So, it should be fairly easy to decide which bunk beds will be better for your kids in the long run. Metal bunk beds have too many drawbacks, and wooden bunk beds will be better suited for extended life as a children's bed. A wood bunk bed is more stable, and stands up better to the sleep – and non-sleep – habits of rambunctious children.
