Can the top and bottom bunks be separated for when the kids get their own rooms or will stability be lost?

It's been awhile since I put it together but I don't believe you can because the staircase is integrated into the design for the end of the bed. You'd have to fabricate your own end piece if you were to remove the staircase.

Actually You can seperate them after looking at it. There are holes that are in the 2x2 corner that will be exposed but it should be structurally sound.

The top just "sits" in some pegs that are on the 4 vertical posts. There are some bolts that do attach the stairs to it as well. I would think it would be pretty stabile since there are about 20 little 1" x 3" boards that you screw across the bed (The mattress sits on those).

They can be separated, but mine came damaged and I sent pictures to the seller and never heard back! I wouldn't purchase this item again.

I think it would work ok that way you just wouldn't be able to use the step but then again why would you need them. I think both beds are pretty sturdy. Before I bought these beds I researched for almost six mouths I think these are the best beds for the price I paid.

Not very likely. The bottom bunk has a mid-beam vertical support extending to the ground - you can see it in the picture.

Yes, they can. They are held in place by removable pins so when you unstack them and remove the pins you can't even tell they are bunk beds.

Overall, the bed is pretty sturdy. We have an 8" mattress on our top bunk and the top of the mattress is flush with the top of the lower rail across the front (to help you visualize the mattress height). I presume, the railing will keep a kid from rolling out of the bed. But, there's always danger if the child is on his/her knees leaning on the railing. We're not putting the ladder on until our little one is older and comfortable with getting up and down by himself.

The three drawers underneath the bottom bunk are not attached to anything but have no cover so if you want to place it under a different twin size bed then yes it could be moved out and used on another bed.

The bottom bed is required for the structure. If you are handy, it is possible to create a loft look with the bed, you would need to be able to secure all four corners of the top bed. If you didnt want to take that bottom bed apart, then you can easily go to a store to purchase woods and make your own posts to secure the top bunk.

If your kids are not to busy with bouncing and such its not bad. Ive even layed on the top bunk and I am 135 lbs. The wood is not the best quality. My kids have had this bunkbeds for over a year and there are cracks. You do get what you pay for in this situation.

Thank you for your question. The Summer Infant Sure and Secure Double Bed Rails do not work on Bunk Beds.

It really depends on how big the person is that is taking the top bunk. If they are tall, I suggest they do not stand up. If they are short, you can kind of stand up, but being 5'3", I still bump my head and we have 8.0 ft high ceilings. Hope this helps.

They can't be separated because the sides which holds the two bunks are 1 piece unlike some bunk beds which are basically 2 twin beds that sit on top of each other and have a peg system as a connector.

The bed should be just fine with the stairs/drawers separated, but the stair until won't likely be stable when free standing.

Yes - The beds could be left separated and would be 2 individual beds. There will be 2 holes on the headboard and footboard of the full size bed which are typically used for securing the top bed that you may consider filling or covering up somehow to make it look nice.

Yes,the beds can be taken apart to make two beds, but the ladder and safety rail need to be removed first.

No, the staircase bunk beds are not designed to be used as 2 separate beds.Regards,Kristin BabekPresidentMomsBunkHouse

Yes! Essentially it is just two twin beds. One twin with a guard rail and one without. That is if it is not stacked on top of eachother to form the bunk bed.

Yes, yes you can. It does not affect it al all being against the wall that's where we have ours. I have two sons one is in college and the other one is at home still. When there is only one son here he uses the top bunk and set the bottom one like a futon couch to sit and watch TV or play games in his room. We just pull it out for a bed when my other son comes home. One hand job. Very easy.

I can't imagine why not. There are small pins holding the top bunk in place. The only issue I foresee is that rails on the twin XL are part of the structure, so you might have to leave those on, which could be a nuisance if used separately.
