Frequently Asked Questions

Orders & Lead Times

What’s the current lead time?
Our typical lead time is 8-12 weeks from order to ship. You’ll get updates at each step (build, finish, ship).
Can I request a rush order?
Sometimes. Rush capacity depends on our schedule and finish queue. Contact us and we’ll confirm what’s possible before you order.
Can I change or cancel my order after placing it?
Because every MODBUNK is built to order, changes are limited once production begins. We’ll do our best—reach out ASAP with your order number.

Shipping & Delivery

Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. We ship anywhere in the contiguous U.S. via trusted carriers with protective packaging.
What are my delivery options?
Standard curbside/threshold delivery is included. White-glove setup may be available in select areas—ask us for a quote.
How long does transit take and will I get tracking?
Transit is typically 3–10 business days depending on location. You’ll receive tracking once your order leaves our shop.
What if something arrives damaged?
Inspect all boxes at delivery and note any visible damage with the carrier. Photograph the packaging and parts and contact us within 48 hours—we’ll prioritize replacement parts.

Sizes & Fit

Will my mattress fit? Do I need a box spring?
MODBUNKS use standard U.S. mattress sizes. No box spring required—our slat system supports the mattress directly. We recommend 6–8″ thick mattresses on upper bunks to maintain proper guardrail height.
What ceiling height do I need?
Aim for at least 30″ of clearance between the top mattress and ceiling. Required ceiling height ≈ bed height + mattress thickness + 30″. If you’re unsure, ask us and we’ll confirm based on your configuration.
What’s the weight capacity?
Built for robust family use. Each sleeping surface supports a high, evenly distributed static load. For model-specific ratings, contact us and we’ll share the current spec.

Safety

Are MODBUNKS safe for kids?
Yes—when used as intended. Always use the included guardrails and slats, and ensure the top-bunk mattress leaves at least 5″ of guardrail above the mattress surface. The top bunk is generally recommended for ages 6+.
Do I need to anchor the bed to a wall?
Our bunks are free-standing and stable on a level floor. In high-activity spaces, you may choose to add optional anchoring—reach out and we can advise based on your room and configuration.

Assembly

How long does assembly take?
Most families assemble a MODBUNK in 60–120 minutes with two adults. Clear instructions and labeled parts are included.
What tools do I need?
A Phillips screwdriver and a hex key (included). A rubber mallet and cordless drill can speed things up.
Can I disassemble and move it later?
Yes. MODBUNKS are modular. Keep your hardware pack and instructions for a smooth breakdown and reassembly when moving rooms or homes.

Materials & Finishes

What is the bed made of?
All solid wood frames and components (hardwood); slats use a durable wood solution designed for strength and airflow. No particleboard.
What joinery do you use?
Mortise & tenon at critical connections for heirloom-level strength and stability.
What finishes are available?
Choose from 16 paint colors plus several wood stains. Custom colors available on request; we can color-match from a brand and code you provide.
Are your finishes kid-safe / low-VOC?
We use professional-grade finishes and powders chosen for durability and low odor. If you have specific requirements (e.g., ultra-low VOC), let us know and we’ll advise options.
Will wood grain and color vary?
Yes. Solid wood has natural variation in grain and tone. That uniqueness is part of the charm—no two pieces are identical.

Configurations & Add-ons

Can the ladder or stairs go on either side?
Yes—most setups allow left or right placement. Choose your preference at checkout or let us know before production begins.
Is the bed compatible with trundles or drawers?
Yes—select the under-bed drawers or twin-XL trundle add-ons. We’ll build the clearances into your panel set.
Can I separate the bunks into two beds later?
Currently, no. Many MODBUNKS configurations are modular and can be re-configured over time. Tell us your long-term plan and we’ll guide you to the right setup.

Samples & Custom

Can I order finish samples first?
Yes—swatch kits are available so you can see woods and paints in your lighting before you decide.
Do you do custom sizes or colors?
We can usually accommodate custom colors and select size tweaks. Customization may affect price and lead time—contact us for a quote.

Warranty, Returns & Parts

What’s your warranty?
We stand behind our craftsmanship. Frame and structural components are covered by a limited warranty; hardware and finishes are covered for a defined period. See our full Warranty page for terms.
What’s your return policy?
Each piece is made to order, so returns are generally not accepted. If there’s a workmanship or shipping issue, we’ll make it right with repair or replacement parts per our policy.
Can I order replacement parts later?
Yes. We keep components and finishes on file by order number, making replacements and add-ons straightforward.

Payments & Tax

What forms of payment do you accept?
Major credit/debit cards and accelerated checkout methods available on our site. If you need to split payment or pay by invoice, reach out and we’ll help.
Do you charge sales tax? Is shipping taxed?
Taxes are calculated at checkout based on your shipping address and applicable laws. In some states, shipping charges are also taxable.

Care & Maintenance

How do I care for the finish and wood surfaces?
Dust with a soft cloth; clean with a slightly damp microfiber and mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives. Use felt pads under contact points.
The bed squeaks—what should I do?
Although rare, it can happen. Re-snug hardware after the first 2 weeks and every 6–12 months. A tiny bit of paste wax on wood-to-wood contact points can also help eliminate creaks.

Trade & Commercial

Do you work with interior designers and builders?
Yes—ask about our Trade program for designers and Builder options for multi-room projects. We can coordinate finishes, ship windows, and documentation.
Are MODBUNKS suitable for vacation rentals?
They’re a popular choice for family-oriented rentals. Tell us about your guest profile and we’ll recommend durable finishes and configurations.
