Kids Santa Cruz Brown Cherry Twin/Twin Step Bunk Bed

The steps on this bed serve a dual purpose: safe access and efficient organization. Each step features a built-in storage drawer, which is a perfect space-saving solution for smaller bedrooms or shared spaces. These drawers are ideal for stowing away toys, extra bedding, or clothes, helping to keep the floor clear and maximize the functional square footage of the room.

Bunk beds with stairs, like this model, offer a significantly more stable and easier way for children to access the top bunk compared to traditional vertical ladders. The wide, flat steps provide more surface area for the feet, reducing the risk of slips. This "step bunk" design is an excellent choice for younger children or for parents who want extra peace of mind during nighttime trips up and down the bed.

With a total height of 66.5 inches, this bed is best suited for rooms with standard 8-foot (96-inch) ceilings or higher. This provides nearly 30 inches of clearance between the top of the bed frame and the ceiling. We recommend ensuring there is at least 2 to 3 feet of space above the top mattress to allow your child to sit up comfortably and safely without the risk of bumping their head.

This bed has a total length of 99.5 inches, which is approximately 8.3 feet. Because the staircase is integrated into the end of the frame, it requires more linear floor space than a standard ladder bunk. When planning your room layout, ensure you have enough clearance for the full length of the bed and any additional space needed to comfortably access the storage drawers built into the side of the steps.

The brown cherry finish is designed with transitional styling intended to last as your child grows. To maintain the integrity of the finish in a high-traffic environment, our care guidelines suggest dusting regularly with a soft cloth. For minor spills, a damp cloth with mild soap is recommended; avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can break down the protective topcoat and affect the wood's appearance over time.

For the top bunk, it is critical to use a standard twin mattress that allows the safety guardrails to remain effective. Based on standard bunk bed safety guidelines, the top of the mattress should be at least 5 inches below the top edge of the guardrails. We recommend a low-profile bunkie mattress or a standard twin mattress that does not exceed 8 inches in thickness to maintain a secure sleep environment.
