It is not a good idea to build a desk in the bunk bed as children could fall head-on or foot-on on the desk as they climb in and out of the bed. The desk must also be placed in a way that the child can access the chair easily, so it isn’t too far from the mattress.Under-bed drawers are a great option for top bunk beds.
