The Triple Bunk Bed is set up exactly like the loft bed shown, in the picture above, except it has three levels instead of one. The other two levels are installed in the same way as the top. The regular base model will allow you to place the bottom mattress on the floor to gain more space. The bottom bunk front and back rails will not have the 2x2 ledge. Some choose to have it raised and it will come with the 2x2 ledge.
The top bunk headboard can be positioned at either end an you will climb up and use any side.
The Youth Safety Rails are installed on both levels as shown. The base model comes with one rail on the top bunk and one in the middle. If you choose to upgrade you will get additional rails.
The Triple Bunk Bed comes with a short vertical ladder on the front (long) side that is used to climb up into the middle bunk. It may be installed on the left or right side. The rungs can be installed on the outside of the 2x4 or the inside to give it a cleaner look.
The Triple Bunk Bed is now complete. The loft should be tight and not rock in any direction. If it does rock, try the following: Did you use a power screwdriver? Make sure you drive the screws nice and tight. With the 1-1/2 In. thick wood, the screws should be recessed about 1/4 In. to make a tight fit. Try un-screwing them one at a time and re-tightening them. What direction does it move? When standing at the front (long rail side) does it move left to right or front to back? If left to right then the screws in the front and back rail should be tightened. If it moves front to back then the rungs in the ladder ends need to be tightened. You can also place some wood glue inside the notches before inserting the rungs. This should give you a nice tight fit.

Safety Guidelines
The Wooden College Loft Bed was designed utilizing the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) safety guidelines for bunk beds. The loft was designed and intended to be used for college student use, the loft should not be used by children under the age of 6. If modifications or alternations are made it must conform to the CPSC Document #071 requirements.
Since National Homestore cannot control the quality of the assembly nor modifications made to the Bunk Bed, we will not be held legally liable from any accidents, injuries or property damage resulting from the use of our loft.
Because of the very nature of sleeping on an elevated surface, there are obvious and inherent risks involved due to falling. This risk is enhanced when consciousness is limited or impaired due to sleep, lack of sleep, illness, consumption of alcohol, taking medications, inhalation of smoke/fumes or similar factors. The loft is an all natural wood product and will burn when fire or sufficient heat is present. Elevated beds may also create obstructions or impediments that increase the hazards encountered in a fire or other emergency by hindering evacuation or fire suppression activities. Customers who choose to use our Triple Bunk Bed shall be deemed to have assumed all risks of accidents, injury and property damage associated with their use.
As a general safety precaution do not place the loft near any window, door, closet, fire/smoke alarm or ceiling fan. All college residence halls have specific requirements regarding the use and placement of lofts and students are required to follow all college requirements. The safety rail must be in use at all times.
