Kids Modern Colors Iron Ore Twin Step Loft with Loft Chest

Changing sheets on any loft can be a chore, but this low loft height makes it significantly more accessible than a full-height bunk bed. Because the mattress sits at a lower elevation (just over four feet high), most adults can reach the mattress surface easily. To ensure both safety and ease of maintenance, this bed requires a bunkie board (sold separately). Using a bunkie board instead of a traditional box spring keeps the mattress profile low, which maximizes the effective height of the safety guardrails and simplifies the sheet-tucking process.

While safety standards generally recommend elevated beds for children ages 6 and older, this model is specifically designed as a "low loft." Sitting lower to the ground than a traditional high loft, it serves as an excellent transitional piece for younger children. The reversible staircase provides a wider, more stable climbing surface than a standard ladder, offering increased safety and confidence for children navigating the bed at night.

This low loft bed has a total height of approximately 51 inches. To ensure a child can sit up comfortably without hitting their head, we recommend maintaining at least 30 to 36 inches of clearance between the top of the mattress and the ceiling. This lower profile makes it an ideal solution for rooms with standard 8-foot ceilings or even the lower, slanted ceilings often found in attic bedrooms and older homes.

This "all-in-one" design is a strategic choice for high-density urban living or smaller suburban bedrooms. By elevating the twin bed, the design utilizes vertical space to integrate a three-drawer chest and additional storage drawers within the staircase steps. This eliminates the need for a separate dresser and a protruding ladder, effectively doubling the usable floor area for play or study while keeping the room organized.

Yes. To ensure the piece complements your local decor and grows with your child's style, we include two complete sets of hardware with every purchase. You can choose between brushed nickel or brushed gold knobs and pulls. This allows you to easily update the aesthetic of the loft chest and staircase drawers at any time without needing to source new parts.

Stability is a cornerstone of this bed's construction. It is crafted with sleek, modern craftsmanship and high-quality materials. For added structural integrity, the coordinating loft chest is built using French dovetail joints—a premium joinery technique known for its strength and resistance to being pulled apart. To maintain this stability over time, our experts recommend ensuring all bolts are securely tightened during assembly and performing periodic checks to maintain a wobble-free environment.
