The MERLOT Twin over Twin Staircase is a large bed so make sure that you have room for this bed before purchasing! The mission style design, with its vertical wooden construction is designed for strength and good looks. The staircase makes it easy for kids and adults to get to the top sleeping area. The MERLOT stain is a gender neutral color which is relatively new to our line up but we believe that the rich brown stain with a hint of Red will be a timeless color. Under the stairs is a 4 drawer chest for clothes storage and on the other side a magazine rack to keep reading material close by for the lower bed sleeper. The classic Mission style design and the solid wood construction will look great and give you years on enjoyment. The DWF beds include Decorative Steel Hardware and have metal to metal connections for all structural support making the bed strong and beautiful and the exposed hardware is Bronze colored. There are four under bed options available for this bed, the 3 drawers storage, 6 drawer storage if you have access to both sides of the bed, 2 bigger drawers, or a Twin Trundle unit that would allow you create a 3rd sleeping space. This bed is Not Down Stackable, meaning that you can not break the bed down to make 2 twin beds. The Mission Bunk Bed comes with the upper and lower beds slat kits included ( no need for bunkie boards ) guard rails for top bed and ladder and assembly hardware!
