Study Area

Studies have shown that children who have their own desks and study nooks are more organized and develop better studying habits. They also perform better at school.
A mid loft bed is ideal for this as it allows the sleeping area to be up high and the desk or workstation can be positioned underneath it.

We have a variety of footboard accessories such as a Desk and Bookcase, as well as more. They can be affixed to the bed for more storage and study space.
