Simple Bunk Bed

I searched high and low for the perfect bunk beds to buy for my four-year-old son and two-year-old daughter when our third child was on the way. We wanted something that had enough clearance between the top and bottom bunks so my husband and I could comfortably sit on the bottom bunk with our kids to read books before bed and it was nearly impossible to find a pre-made bed that fit that requirement in our price range. I was excited to find this plan because it looked like the perfect fit and we could modify it to meet our needs.

I built and stained most of the parts of the bed (while six months pregnant :P) and my husband did the final assembly. It took us about two weeks from start to finish since we could really only work during naptime and bedtime. We stained them with Behr water-based stain in Classic Gray. I love the way they turned out and they are super solid and heavy. My kids love them too.
