are Pine Wood Bunk Beds a bad idea for kids?
my mom and I are thinking of going in halves on a set of pine wood bunkbeds with underbed drawers. Here is a pic of item. http://cgi.ebay.com/TWIN-TWIN-PINE-BUNK-BED-2-DRAWERS_W0QQitemZ200180723547QQihZ010QQcategoryZ38188QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemCost with shipping/tax/shipping insurance would be $442. When we were out shopping around locally to avoid shipping, one furniture place said he would price match if I brought in online info, but when I mentioned one online was pine he laughed and said pine was junk he only sold oak. His was $573( even with free delivery).. I know oak is better, but the cost of pine ones are already a huge stretch of our budget to get my grandkids these beds....is pine going to not be safe? The salesman made it sound like pine would just fall apart. So I didn't know if it was his way to try and sell his, or if pine was really shabby product.
There is nothing WRONG with pine wood. It built a whole country from 1700 to now.
Properly designed, pine is a PERFECT wood for a Kids Room. True, it is a softwood, and it has a sometimes wild grain, but it is not going to be on display in the front Living Room.
Just make sure the particular product is well designed, and make sure it is Solid Wood, not a laminate, compressed board, partical board, future board, or anything else BUT SOLID wood.
. (I would be a bit concerned about "knockdown" furniture from China, the kind that comes as a kit and you have to put it together. This usually means partical board with applicae tape for grain imaging. Pure unaldulterated junk.
