Costway Metal Bunk Bed 81111UH (Black, Desk & Shelves)

Metal Loft Bed Desk

From: Costway

The Costway Metal Bunk Bed combines a sleeping area, a workspace and storage in one frame. It has a built-in desk measuring 192 x 39cm, so there's room for a laptop, books or craft projects. Two shelves sit above the desk for daily items.

The frame uses 23 metal slats and holds up to 220kg. Full-length guardrails stand 32cm high along the top bunk and two ladders give access from either side. Anti-tipping kits secure the frame to a wall.

Under the bed there's 146cm of clearance. That's enough space for a chair, storage boxes or a reading nook. No box spring is needed. It fits a single mattress up to 16cm thick.

Product Features

Built-in Desk and Shelves - The 192 x 39cm desk gives a proper surface for homework, laptop use or hobbies. Two shelves above hold books, lamps or storage boxes. This setup replaces separate furniture pieces, which matters most in small bedrooms or shared dorm rooms. Heavy-Duty Metal Frame - 23 metal slats spread the weight evenly and support up to 220kg on the bed itself. The desktop holds 40kg and each shelf takes 5kg. Metal doesn't warp like wood can over time, so the frame keeps its shape for years. Anti-Tipping Kits - Two kits come included to bolt the frame to the wall. This stops the bed rocking or tipping when someone climbs the ladder or sits at the desk. Wall fixing is standard practice for tall bed frames and shouldn't be skipped.

Full-Length Guardrails - The top bunk has 32cm guardrails running its full length. This keeps the sleeper from rolling off during the night. It's a basic safety feature that matters more with children or restless sleepers using the top bunk. Dual Ladder Access - Two ladders are fitted on either side of the frame. This means two people sharing a room don't have to cross paths to get up or down. It also gives a choice of route if one side of the room is blocked by furniture. Under-Bed Clearance - There's 146cm of space below the bed. That's tall enough for a wardrobe, a small sofa or extra shelving. It turns unused vertical space into a functional part of the room, which is the whole point of a loft-style bed.

FAQs

What size mattress does this bed take?

It takes a single (twin) size mattress. The mattress should be no thicker than 16cm. A mattress is not included with the bed frame, so you'll need to buy one separately.

Do I need to fix this bed to the wall?

Yes. Two anti-tipping kits come with the bed and should be used to bolt the frame to the wall. Several reviewers noted the bed feels wobbly if this step is skipped. Fixing it to the wall stops rocking when climbing the ladder or using the desk.

How much weight can the bed and desk hold?

The bed frame supports up to 220kg thanks to its 23 metal slats. The desktop holds up to 40kg and each shelf is rated for 5kg. These figures cover the person sleeping plus any items stored on the desk or shelves.

Is assembly difficult?

Assembly is required and a manual is included. One reviewer mentioned a couple of bolt holes didn't line up perfectly and needed some improvising. Basic tools and a second person to help lift sections into place will make the job easier.

How much space is under the bed?

There's 146cm of clearance beneath the bed. That's enough room to fit a desk chair, a small wardrobe, storage boxes or set up a reading corner. This space is what makes loft beds useful in small rooms.

Is this bed suitable for adults, not just children?

Yes. The 220kg weight capacity and single mattress size mean it works for teens and adults, not just younger children. It's a common choice for dorm rooms and small flats where floor space is tight.

What colours are available?

This bed comes in Black, Silver and White. The listing here covers the Black version, which has a Modern style with a painted metal finish.

Are the tools provided for assembly any good?

One reviewer described the included tools as not up to the job. It's worth having your own basic tools such as a spanner or Allen key set on hand as backup when putting the frame together.
