Deep Expertise — Especially in Beds and Bedrooms
We know bunk beds, loft beds, and bedroom furniture especially well — but that's not all we carry. As a former kids specialty retailer that has expanded into furnishings for every space, our team brings that same depth of knowledge to dining, living, office, outdoor, and retro diner furniture too. Where we go deepest is beds: weight capacities, clearance heights, mattress compatibility, stair vs. ladder trade-offs, and how different configurations fit real rooms.
Honest Answers to Technical Questions
Questions about the space between bunks? Weight limits for adult guests? Whether a queen-over-queen bunk will clear your 8-foot ceiling? We answer these directly, not with a generic disclaimer to "consult a professional." Our team knows the specs.
"I had a question regarding the lower drawer installation and not fitting properly and the girl in customer service was able to quickly determine the rail location needed to be adjusted. I had mistakenly placed in the wrong location (off by one bolt location). Problem solved!" — Skip, verified customer
"We called the number (and appreciated that you gave us a tel number to call — other companies did not). Your answering message was very helpful, very crisp and professional." — John K., verified customer
A Team That Works with You
Our retro diner furniture has been used at TED — our booths, tables, chairs, stools, and more furnished the Jukebox Diner at TED 2025 (TED 2025 collection). It was a large and fun project for our team. We simply love furniture and have worked with a wide variety of customers and clients.
"I had some questions, the store manager called me back after hours and quickly expedited my trade application." — Katauna, verified customer
"I truly appreciate the timely communication. I had a number of questions and received an emailed response within 24 hours. The customer service was always friendly and helpful." — Pilar P., verified customer
"Called customer service with a shipping question and they returned my call quickly and answered my question." — Tina S., verified customer
Delivery Coordination and Scheduling
Large furniture ships by one of our specialty furniture carriers or freight. Once your order reaches the local terminal near your location, the carrier will call to schedule a delivery appointment. We work with established carrier partners and do a significant amount of vacation home and rental property business — we know how to communicate what you need, even if a specific day can't always be guaranteed. We'll do our best to relay your preferences.
Need to delay a shipment because your property is not ready (construction delays, weather impacts) or travel plans changed? Don't live at the delivery location? We will work with you to get your furniture to you in the time frame you need. See our shipping page for details.
"I liked the communication about my order status, given that it was weeks before it shipped and weeks during shipping. I didn't feel the need to reach out and call myself." — Kristina, verified customer
"Working with the bean bag store has been wonderful. They were communicative about the shipment and great following up with missing assembly instructions and hardware. Would definitely purchase from them again!" — Emily M., verified customer
"I received updates on the status of our bed when asked. The assembly was quicker than expected." — Maggie, verified customer
Replacement Parts and After-Sale Support
Shipments on rare occasions arrive with transit damage and we insure our shipments just in case. We have a process for reporting and resolving these issues — please review our Returns, Exchanges, and Cancellations policy for reporting requirements and timelines. Acting promptly matters, and our team is here to help you through it.
"One box was damaged in shipping and the company was very responsive and quickly replaced the damaged parts at no cost to us. Overall a great experience." — Mark & Susan B., verified customer
"We had two missing parts, but they were sent quickly and customer service was great!! We were so impressed from the moment we ordered to the shipping (everything was packed perfectly) to assembly. It is rare to find good quality products nowadays!" — Katie, verified customer

Vacation Rental & Airbnb Owners

We offer a trade program for designers, developers, and hospitality buyers. Personal shoppers handle trade applications, volume questions, and project coordination directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the personal shopper service free?
Yes, completely. There is no charge to speak with one of our furniture specialists, and no purchase is required. Whether you're actively ready to buy or just trying to understand your options, we're happy to help.
What can a personal shopper help me with?
Quite a lot. Our team helps with product selection, room measurements and fit, weight capacity questions, mattress compatibility, stair vs. ladder trade-offs, delivery logistics and scheduling, assembly guidance, damage reporting, and replacement parts. We also regularly help customers plan entire room configurations — particularly vacation rental owners and Airbnb hosts who need to maximize sleeping capacity across multiple beds.
Do you help with vacation rental and Airbnb furnishing projects?
Yes, and it's a significant part of what we do. Vacation rental owners and Airbnb hosts frequently come to us because they need high-weight-capacity bunk beds that can safely accommodate adult guests — not the lighter-duty options you'd find at a big-box store. Our solid wood beds are rated at 800–2,000 lbs per sleeping surface. Our specialists can help you plan multi-room configurations, think through configurations like queen-over-queen or twin-over-queen, and coordinate delivery around your rental schedule.
How quickly will I get a response?
We do our best to respond promptly. Messages received after business hours will be addressed as soon as possible during the next business day.
Can I request a specific delivery date?
You can share your preferred timing with us and we'll pass it along to the carrier. Once your shipment reaches the local terminal near your location, the delivery carrier will call you directly to schedule a delivery appointment. Whether they can accommodate a specific day depends on their schedule and local availability. We do a significant amount of vacation rental business and have long-standing relationships with our carrier partners — we'll advocate on your behalf, but we cannot guarantee a particular date.
What makes your bunk beds different from what I'd find at a big-box store?
The core difference is construction quality and weight capacity. We specialize in beautiful and solid wood bunk beds rated for 800–2,000 lbs per sleeping surface — well above the typical consumer-grade limits you'll find elsewhere. These beds are appropriate for adults, not just children, which makes them a popular choice for vacation homes, guest rooms, and rental properties. Our personal shoppers can match you to the right model based on your specific use case, room dimensions, and guest profile.
