K.C.
Did you try Ashley Furniture? We, too were on the hunt for the "perfect" bunk beds for our son last year before his 3rd birthday. The wooden bunks were quite pricey...and that was not the look that I was going for. We found a sturdy metal framed bunk (most metal frames we encountered were cheap) with the look of a traditional bed with the knobs and all...we had a construction/tool theme for our son's room and it has all come together quite nice. It is all about the darn bed! Good Luck :)
