Question:

do all wood bunk beds shake alot?

my sister has a pain disease and beds cant shake alot. PLEASE HELP ME

Answer:

In most cases the bed will shake for any or all of three reasons: either 1) the floor beneath the bed is uneven, or 2) the bed framing may be loose (pulled nails, stripped or loose bolts, etc), or 3) one or more of the bed posts may have shrunk creating an unstable frame. If its at all possible, and you have the space, I would recommend separating the bunks into 2 single beds. That way your sister's bed will shift very little, if at all. If the bunks can't be separated, perhaps your sister could sleep on the bottom bunk as it is the top bunk that has the highest potential for movement. Another option would be to bolt the bunk frame directly to the wall, being sure the bolts are screwed directly into the wall studs. That way the bed is directly supported by the structure of the house and shouldn't shift very much.
not all of them shake but some wood bunk beds are pretty DANGEROUS!
Try hiding any scratches with wood polish or stain to match the wood color. Maybe try adding a coat of varnish to bring back the shine? Or call a furniture store. A ma and pop store would probably have better know how than a big store.
If the floor is uneven it will be unsteady and most bunks beds tend to be top heavy and can fall over. It might be a good idea to bolt it though the wood frame of the bed on the top into a stud in the wall solving the problem.
