Are these beds sturdy and safe enough for children and adults?

These designs are among the sturdiest and safest you will find in the industry.  When you follow our plans you will have a bed that will serve you for many years and through many moves (if the need arises).   You can be assured that these designs will support either children or adults safely.

How hard are these beds to build?

If you can make a straight cut in lumber with a circular saw, drill a straight hole and operate a power sander you should have very little trouble building a bunk bed, loft bed or trundle bed with our plans.  We have made the plans as easy to follow as possible including tips for the amateur to make the job easier.  If you do not think you have the ability to build your own you might consider paying a family member or someone in your area to build them for you following our plans.

What is included in the hardware kit you sell?

All of the required hardware not including wood is included in the kits we sell.  Although you can readily find all of the necessary components we believe it is economical to buy our hardware kits for the following reasons.  We recently surveyed the prices at our local Lowe's and Home Depot stores and found our hardware kits were very competitively priced and were of superior quallity.  Buying our hardware kits will save the time you would have spent shopping for the necessary hardware and plans and hardware kit prices include shipping.
