Frustrated parents the world over will more than likely shed tears of joy after seeing the Bunky Bunk Bed. The Bunky Bunk Bed was designed by Marc Newson and is a simple, four-piece bunk bed.
The bunk bed is one of the most valued space savers in any multi-child home. Unfortunately, bunk beds are also tough to put together, oftentimes leaving moms and dads perplexed and frustrated. The Bunky Bunk Bed contains only three pieces: two beds, a middle support beam and a ladder, making it super easy to assemble. Best of all, these beds can be split up and used singularly in case one of your children actually takes you up on your offer to move out if he/she does not like the rules.
