Bedroom Concepts' salespeople don't have a script or list of questions they ask customers. They do talk about the benefit of buying quality furniture that will last. They emphasize that their furniture will be appropriate for a child that is 4 or 5 years old and will take them right through their teenage years. That fits in with what the younger children generally want also. They want to have furniture like their older brother or sister.
Safety is important here.
I have mixed emotions about some of these loft beds with the slides coming down. Bunkbeds are not a place for horseplay and when I see a bed with a tent on the top and a slide coming down, I see that as encouraging horseplay. There are certainly liability concerns for a retailer, and the new standards are an improvement. Many parents want to purchase a bunk bed for their 3 or 4 year old. We advise parents, and the law requires, that children under 6 not be placed on the top bunk.
