The bunk beds are beautifully made with lovely details like tiny finials on the bedpost. I was surprised when I received it to read that it was only suitable for children over 14. I contacted the makers who responded promptly and said that it was described as such because if it broke there could be sharp bits of wood. They kindly offered to refund my money but after talking to my daughter (the beds were for my granddaughter) we decided to keep them and trust that she will treat them carefully and not break them. She is delighted with them.
