Also, ensure that there is enough room around the bunks for the children to move. The beds should be spaced enough apart to allow kids to climb and descend safely and not bump into each other or crash into the walls. Additionally, you should find out whether the top bunk can support a mattress that is the same size as the bottom one so you don't have to pay for a trundle or another extra bed in the future.
