It has plenty of room so that if I want to lie down with them, I am able to do that too. The only issue is that my younger one sometimes bumps his head on the upper bunk when he's getting in. But I still feel it's much safer than some of the higher bunk bed options.

I suspect that in the past few years Ikea may have changed the bed's design slightly - ours was set up according to the instructions, but painted while disassembled. I bought the bed used, so this bed is, I'm guessing, about 8 years old or so. Hope this helps!Sample Sale Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16003459119739156164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023013647647206823.post-56803853703510604002014-04-07T16:11:31.666-07:002014-04-07T16:11:31.666-07:00Hi Sarah!

I know you can buy stencils online, but I made mine using my silhouette die cut machine - it's an amazing tool that scrapbookers/designers use, you can cut any shape or letterform out of paper - you can see them here (check out the "what can it make" section) After I made the stencils I held each up against the bed one at a time and drew over them with artist's chalk. I have to redo it because it's rubbed off, but it stuck around for a while.

One side of the sideboards was already white, so I only had to paint the other side (the chalkboard side). I did this outside on my deck, with old bed sheets underneath to catch the drips. I used Rustoleum brand chalk board paint and Behr pure white satin enamel (1 quart each) After I painted all the pieces we put the bed together.Sample Sale Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16003459119739156164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023013647647206823.post-90422314673064050452012-06-23T15:42:14.013-07:002012-06-23T15:42:14.013-07:00This looks great!
