OT: Who had bunk beds growing up?

[Mr. Potter]

Always wanted that as a kid. Looked like so much fun.

The rick did.

 

[Mr. Potter]

The rick did.

I used to plead with my mom but always a hard no. Same story with a dirt bike, until I bought a Suzuki RM 125 and hid it in the hedgerows behind my house for over a year until discovery.

My younger brother and I had bunk beds. He had the top bunk. One day he had his legs hanging down and I grabbed then and yanked
and he fell straight forward and smacked the floor. Needless to say I got in big trouble.

I have four sisters, no brothers. So, no, I didn’t have bunk beds.

When we were DE retirement house shopping we found a 15 acre wooded creeked lot in newark walkable to the blue hens. I dreamed of dirt bikes for me n my boys. Sigh, it would have cost $100k to get utilities to the permitted house site, frugal moms crushed my dirt bike dreams

Yep, the same for me.

My brother and I slept in bunk beds in the mid 50’s. My two daughters slept in them as twin beds in late 90’s, early 2000’s. They were still in our one guest bedroom until about 10-15 years ago! The ladder showed up in the corner of a closet just a year or two ago. I think (??) the whole set-up is gone now.

I attended a residential school k-12, and the high school boys' rooms had bunks.

 

[ps_1294]

In our fraternity at Penn State we slept in bunk beds. We shared a study room with a roommate. Between two study rooms was a small “pad” room with two bunk beds for four guys.

I slept in bunk beds in Nittany dorm -1963.

 

[CFLion]

Grew up as one of six - three boys, three girls in a 3BR ranch house. Boys had one room, girls had the other. The boys room was the smallest, like 8X10 small. My dad hand-built bunk beds in the room (3rd bed was a twin). Once all the kids moved out my dad had to cut the bed apart to get it out of the room.

I slept in bunk beds while in the Army and I was growing up then.

 

[Metal Mike]

I shared a bunk bed with my younger brother. Our beds had a little ladder to allow me to get to the upper bunk. Not much to tell except bunk beds allowed for more space in the room.

I always imagined I would turn it into a fort and also like a jungle-gym

 

[MtNittany]

I did. And I didn't have a brother. They were from Keystone Housing (I think that was the name of the local company) and they had little lathed baseball bats as the vertical supports at each end.

 

[Bwifan]

I originally had bunk beds then later had a trundle bed for when friends slept over

 

[kgilbert78]

Did that in later years of grad school, when we had a big house off campus. Rent was quite cheap as a result.

 

[manatree]

I shared one with my brother in a small 2br house. They were actually stackable twin beds, and one of them is in the guest bedroom at my parents house, so I get to relive the old days when I go to visit.
