Question:

Which bunkbed is more sturdy: Wood or Metal/Steel?

I want to buy a VERY sturdy bunkbed, but don't know which one would be better with not getting loose or falling apart.

Answer:

Metal, the screws can loosen, but most of the joints in a metal bed are welded, and screws that work loose are easy to tighten, once a screw or glued joint comes loose in a wood bed it will never be the same. The metal bunkbed my daughter had only needed screws to keep the upper safety rail from wobbling, but without any screws it would still stay together.
Metal/Steel. :)
Metal/Steel, tighten it down and put some washers in between the steel and the screw so it creates a tight fit and movement wont affect the screw directly.
