Professional cabin bed assembly - mid-sleeper cabin beds built sturdy with ladder secured and under-bed furniture arranged. Safe climbing, proper use of space.
Space-Saving Sleep
Cabin beds are brilliant for small bedrooms - sleep up top, desk or storage underneath. But they're big, heavy, and need building properly.
💡 Pro tip: Position the bed before assembly - cabin beds are heavy and awkward to move once built. Choose the corner or wall placement first.

🔧 DIY Tips
Building yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Drill
- Screwdriver
- Allen keys
- Spirit level
- Helper (essential)
📐 Safe assembly
- Position before building
- Follow instructions exactly
- Keep frame square as you build
- Tighten all joints fully
- Check guard rail heights
- Test ladder security
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Building in wrong location (can't move after)
- Frame not square (stress on joints)
- Rushing the under-bed furniture
- Not testing climbing safety
💡 Pro trick: Build the main frame first, then the under-bed furniture. Trying to do both simultaneously creates confusion and mistakes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between cabin beds and bunk beds?
Cabin beds are single mid-height beds with space underneath for desk, storage, or play. Bunk beds have two sleeping levels. Cabin beds are typically easier to assemble but still substantial.
Do cabin beds need to be anchored to the wall?
Most don't require wall anchoring due to their design, but we'll check stability. If it feels like it could tip under climbing pressure, we'll recommend anchoring.
How long does assembly take?
Typically 2.5-4 hours depending on the model. Cabin beds with multiple features (desk, shelving, wardrobe) take longer. Simple cabin frames are quicker.
What about the furniture underneath?
If the cabin bed includes desk, drawers, or shelving, we assemble and position all of it. Everything included in the set gets built.
