Safety
Bunk beds can be a safe place for children to sleep if they're properly installed and the parents follow certain safety guidelines. First, make sure the bunk bed is placed in a corner, so that it doesn't wobble when kids climb the ladder.

Children shouldn't be allowed to sleep on the top bunk unless they're older than six years old.

It is also important to make sure that the guardrails are secured on the top bunk and there aren't any gaps that children can slip through and become trapped beneath the bed.
Another important safety aspect to consider is that the foundation area of the upper and lower bunks should be constructed of solid wood and not slats. Slat-based systems can collapse when weighed down and can cause serious injuries.

This will reduce the chance of injuries and accidents when the fan is in operation.
