I bought ours second hand from a lady at work (it's a nice wooden one). I have seem similar, at Harvey Norman or Freedom or somewhere like that. They are definitely called Cabin beds. Have you looked at the Ikea site?
oh bugger, I thought I had found the easy way out and you were going to tell me exactly where I could get one!
Yes we have been checking out Ikea, but everything I like DD doesnt.
We recently went to harvey norman and yes they had a great one - but by the time we bought that, and a desk and a bookshelf/storage unit it would have been close to $2k. She already has a really good mattress, we just cant spend that much at the moment!
We have just taken our loft bed off Mr 16. He's had it for about a year and in the last few weeks of having it, commented that "it's hot up here".
Apart from that we've had no problems. It's a metal, king single one, very secure. (don't know the brand - we were given it) I often climbed up and had no feeling of it being rickety with it. We put DS2's bed underneath, firstly in a L shape to the top one, then when we needed more room, right in under like a bunk.
I think I'd be concerned with putting a 7 year old in a loft bed. Ours was certainly higher then a normal bunk, the bottom rung of the ladder was a lot higher then normal bunks as well.
we've just put our oldest( 4 this month) into a cabin bed - sounds like Marydeans with a pull out desk and draws/bookcase underneath. it's great! i was worried though as i knew my 2 year old would get up and play on it but i spent the first half an hour of it being made teaching him how to use the ladder and he's been fine - no accidents yet!
it's a really solid one and the rails are not flimsy at all - we got it from bedshed - they deal with the flat pac company or something like that - google cabin beds or kendal midi bed - i highly recommend them!
