Bottom Line

A handsome piece of furniture with an integrated bookcase headboard and generous under-bed storage.

Pros

The headboard cubbyholes hold books, personal items, and electronics, with a discreet hole for cords. The 10 integrated drawers — 2 at the head and 8 under the bed — glide smoothly. Relatively easy to assemble.

Cons

Some owners may struggle with the height. The bed is made from a mixture of engineered and solid wood, but still boasts a sturdy construction.

Bottom Line

A sturdy, attractive option with a bookcase headboard and under-bed storage.

Pros

Made from solid pine, the superior construction includes five bookshelves at the head, six under-bed drawers, and a bonus cubbyhole at the foot for extra storage. Easy assembly.

Cons

Though the drawers can be installed on either side for easy access to contents, the side without drawers will be exposed and will look best when pushed against a wall.

Best Bang for the Buck

Bottom Line

An affordable, space-saving option combining a bed, bookshelves, and desk.

Pros

The four wide shelves store more books than other models we tested. The 5' under-bed loft creates a comfortable work environment at the desk.

Cons

Ladder rungs may be hard on bare feet, and smaller kids may struggle to climb into bed because the continuous rail has no opening for the ladder. Supports up to 200 lbs., though adults may not be able to sit up in bed comfortably.

Bottom Line

A well-built bookcase bed that integrates a trundle bed and additional storage space.

Pros

Built from sturdy pine, the bookcase extends the length of the mattress, rather than the width, allowing for more storage on the five shelves. The bonus trundle bed supports adults. Three drawers and a cubbyhole offer extra storage below.

Cons

The bed has no headboard, so some owners prefer to move it into a corner. The trundle may be difficult to roll out on carpet.

Bottom Line

An attractive headboard-only design with five built-in cubbyholes for storage.

Pros

Brackets secure the headboard to a standard metal bed frame. A discreet cord hole makes it easy to plug in alarm clocks and phones. Four of the shelves adjust in height.

Cons

The headboard is made from engineered rather than solid wood, and some owners report struggling with the assembly process.
