Are bed risers like this safe to use on bunk beds? I am sure bed/children are under the 2,000 lb weight limit.

These bed risers all broke within the first week on our queen bed. We used 6 of them. I now have blocks of 4x4s, those work much better.

I'd use caution if planning to use these on bunk beds. Bunk beds have a tendency to be tipsy and top-heavy. If these were ever to get slightly out of position (not centered) on all four legs I think the chance of an accident could be very significant.

Not 100 percent sure but I wouldn't risk it just because a bunk bed is top heavy already and adding more height just increases the risk.

They are actually much bigger than the picture and yes they are very safe and sturdy

The weight of the bed itself shud keep them from moving around too much, if at all. I believe the space in the indent is 2 or 3 inches squared, so the possibility of the bed moving around IS there. The key word to remember here is INDENT. The indent does have a raised lip all around of maybe a half inch. Truly I wud not worry at all about it. These are VERY strong and durable risers. I am actually using them for my entertainment center which is holding over $2000 worth of equipment. I am not worried in the least.

Pretty rickety. I find we have to tighten the screws pretty often. I snuggle with my daughter with a combined weight of 160 and it's not too bad, but any heavier than that, no way. These beds are very small spaced. I am 5'0 and can't sit up on the bottom bunk. They are definitely not made for adults.

Not aware of any weight limit. Use on bunks under 17' Mako runabout with 115 Suzuki. No problems.

We put a 13 inch mattress on both the top and bottom bunks. No problem at all. On the bottom there is still plenty of room, my 8 yr old sits up straight with room to spare under there. On the top bunk, the mattress is almost as high as the safety rails, so I wouldn't put a little kid up there who might roll out.

I do not remember the weight limit, but I do know that it is very sturdy, and I would not hesitate to have an adult on the top bunk. There are enough planks that makes it so. Great choice for bunk beds!

My teenage son has slept on the bed, he's about 155lbs. My 2 young daughters and I have slept on the Bottom bunk together, total weight is about 210 lbs. I'm not sure what the weight limit is though

I use it with a mattress and box springs - the anchor straps that run between them are made to hook onto both to prevent the guard rail from slipping out. Having had bunk beds at one time occupied by two boys, I am quite sure I WOULD NOT use this thing with bunk beds.

Bought these for my 5 and 3yr old kids and have on occasion slept on the bottom bunk. It felt sturdy. I would however definitely reinforce the planks that come with the bed for added security. Hope this helps

We bought the riser for my mother in law and it is rated to hold 250 lbs. If it were me, I would not chance it. I would find a little stronger one. Sorry.

That would depend on the size boards under the pads; i.e. 2x4's vs 4x4's or 4x6" bunk boards. The pads themselves can support just about any weight you can put on them if supported properly.

I forgot to mention that if you are only going 16" on the 36" set you should have no problem. I am assuming you may be building a sliding bunk for camp? They would be great for that if you don't have to slide them out all the way. Mine only get a little flimsy once I pull them out all the way. Mine is only holding a race track. So the weight is all in that much other than the frame. Jeff

I went online and was told that Coaster bunks have a weight limit on top of 150 and bottom 200

The manufacturer recommends a weight limit of 175 lbs (top or bottom). The bed slats are hardwood, so they are sturdy, but when I or my wife are up there, we are careful not to bounce or put all of our weight on 1 bed slat. I wouldn't go over 175lbs on a daily basis. I've slept on the bottom bunk with 1 of my kids (240 lbs total) and haven't had any issues, but that's not a daily occurrence.

I weigh 230, and I use only one riser, and it works just fine. I'd imagine it would take pretty much whatever you'd want to put on it. It's pretty solid.

We bought this set for our grandson. And it is at his house. I believe the weight limit is 200 lbs each bunk. It can hold 200 lbs cause our son has fell asleep with our grandson reading him a story. This was on the bottom bunk. It is a heavy bunk bed set. We'll worth the money! I would buy it again!!!!

It might be a little young. It depends on how well they can climb on their own. The ladder to get up is straight up so at 2 they might need help getting into the bed for awhile. The bed isn't as high as a regular bed so I wasn't worried about falling.
