When her youngest son outgrew his toddler bed, Mom Megan Zietz knew it was time to research bunk beds that slept all three of her kids. Since they shared a bedroom in their small NYC apartment, the options were going to be limited. However, with her eye for design and ability to maximize space, Megan knew the stacked triple bunk bed would give the kids' room a more organized, cohesive feel.

Why Megan Chose Stacked Triple Bunk Beds

When I was searching for triple bunk bed ideas on Pinterest, Maxtrix kept coming up in every search, and after I decided to check them out, I knew these were the one. We've been through a couple of bunk beds, and I knew exactly what I did and didn't want when it came to beds for the kids room. Maxtrix beds were sleek, they looked solid and well built. I spent hours on the site researching before I decided they checked all of the boxes for me.

Living in the NYC space is tight, especially in the kids' room, so we asked them if they wanted more space to sleep or more space to play. It came down to them wanting more room to spread out to play, so with our high ceilings, we decided to go up! We previously had a bunk bed with trundle, and it wasn't for us. I wanted something that was going to be off the ground completely, and the triple stacked bunk was the best (and only) bunk bed option out there.

My expectations were blown out of the water. Everything from design, quality, timeframe and friendliness of staff was 100% amazing. We were able to add drawers onto the design to give us extra storage space, which is a huge bonus for small spaces. I never thought I would look at a bunk bed and say "Chef's Kiss" but every single detail - including the shipping and instructions - was perfection. I wouldn't change a single thing, and other furniture brands need to take notes.

It took about 6 hours from start to finish because it is a tiny room but after we got it set up it was worth the hours put in. When David (my husband) discovered that it didn't make a single creaking sound when climbing up the ladder our minds were blown. It's a solid piece of furniture. Yet it can easily be pushed across the room if we get the itch to do a little rearranging.

I love that we can take it apart or add to it. I think that's what really makes the bed - it's not just a one and done kind of deal. It has the potential to grow with you and your needs. And to me that's truly incredible.

I would say Maxtrix is a sound investment. Sure, you can find some 'cute' bunk beds from big retailers, but the quality and peace of mind isn't going to come with it like it does with Maxtrix. For example: A piece of their previous $1000 bunk bed broke off within a week of receiving the bed, and we were completely out of luck. The quality just wasn't there compared to Maxtrix, and we were just one of millions of customers, so it didn't really matter to make it right.

After my experience with Maxtrix, I don't foresee myself ever going with another bed brand for the kids. Also, just look at this bed, it's beautiful.
