Modern furniture has many ideas and options, and the choice depends on the taste, the area of children, and finances. In the past, these beds looked elementary – two identical beds, one directly above the other. Now the furniture manufacturers offer modern, functional versions of floor structures with a sleeping car on the lower level, a desk, cupboards, additional play modules and, above all, one or two additional beds. Which child refuses to do this? For children, this is a mini house, a separate corner.
