How long does it take to assemble a gaming high sleeper?
Published
Short answer: It depends on the model and the experience of the people building it; larger high sleepers with desks, wardrobes or stairs take longer. Build with two adults, follow the instructions in order and check whether the product page lists assembly space.
Raised beds are bigger builds than most furniture.
Delivery and assembly
Most gaming beds and desks arrive flat-packed for self assembly; the assembly line on each product page tells you what to expect, and some high sleepers list the floor space needed while building them. Build larger pieces in the room where they will stay, as a finished high sleeper is unlikely to fit through a doorway in one piece. Have two adults for raised beds, follow the instructions in order, and retighten fixings after the first few weeks. Delivery details are in our delivery FAQ.
Safety on bunk beds and high sleepers
Bunk beds and high sleepers sold in the UK are made to the BS EN 747 standard for bunk beds and high beds. Always follow the age guidance given for the upper sleeping level on the product page, use a mattress no deeper than the maximum stated so the guard rail stays effective, and fix the bed together exactly as the instructions describe. Check bolts now and then because frames can loosen with use, keep the area around the ladder clear, and do not let children hang belts, cords or toys from the frame or rails.
Measure the room before you choose
Start with a tape measure, not a product page. Note the length and width of the floor space you can actually give up, the ceiling height, and where the door, window, radiator and sockets sit. Then compare those figures with the overall dimensions listed on each product page, which for beds with desks often include a ladder or staircase that sticks out beyond the mattress area. Leave enough clear floor in front of a desk to pull a chair back and stand up comfortably, and remember that doors and wardrobe fronts need room to swing.
