Liam Kids Wooden High Sleeper

BuildWood

In shortFor a cramped child's room, I'd consider this wooden high sleeper: you get a desk and wardrobe underneath without filling the floor with furniture. I find it pricey, and you'll need an EU single mattress no deeper than 15cm. Read the review

What our reviewers found

Pros

  • The three-tone painted finish brings some colour to a small room without adding another piece of furniture.
  • It turns a box room into a bedroom and study in one, with the bed up top and the desk and wardrobe underneath.
  • The in-built workstation underneath the high sleeper bed adds an exceptional convenience for children, making it an ideal study area.
  • An under-bed wardrobe complements the overall design, offering ample storage for clothes, thereby maximising room space.
  • Last but not least, the strong melamine board and solid base board assure durability, promising longevity and reliable performance.

Cons

  • Some customers may find this bed unsuitable for those over 70kgs due to weight limit restrictions.
  • Designed for EU size mattresses only, therefore, typical UK sizes may not fit, limiting the availability of mattress choices.
  • Dreams recommends only children aged 6+ use this bed, and older children may find it less adaptable to their needs.
  • As it requires a mattress with a maximum depth of 15cm, it might not provide the desired cushioning for those who prefer deeper, more plush mattresses.
  • The assembling time might be a matter of concern for customers short on time or unfamiliar with DIY.

Welcome to yet another engaging and eye-opening review. Today, we take a jaunt into the world of functional, space-saving bedroom furniture with a close look at the Liam Kids Wooden High Sleeper. This multifunctional bed with several features has been the talk of the town recently, but does it deliver value for your hard-earned pounds? Let's dive right in.

How we tested

Our testing of the Liam Kids Wooden High Sleeper was carried out carefully in-store and in person, giving us a practical insight into the bed's utility, quality, and overall performance. While we didn't have the opportunity for a home trial, our thorough review provides us with a good understanding of the product.

Design and features

The Liam High Sleeper strikes an impressive note on first sight. Its numerous features include a convenient under-bed wardrobe, a built-in desk, and ample storage space.

it truly is a multifunctional piece that does a great job of optimising room space. Sporting a smart three-tone look, it elevates any room's aesthetic. Ultimately, the bed promises to be an efficient home solution for snug spaces while remaining charmingly stylish.

Construction

The durability of a child's bed is crucial to its longevity. Thankfully, the Liam High Sleeper bed doesn't disappoint. It's made from super sturdy melamine which is known for its hard-wearing and scratch-resistant properties. Indeed, the bed has a solid baseboard, promising added durability and longer usage. The under-bed wardrobe and desk are also well-constructed, making them robust enough for your child's various activities.

Suitability

The bed appeals largely to children aged 6 and over, given the height and features. The bed also carries a weight limit of 70kgs, which ensures it's suitable for your growing child. The desk under the bed offers a supportive space for homework or crafts, making it incredibly suited to families with limited space. However, compatibility with an EU single mattress with a maximum depth of 15cm might limit your choices when selecting a comfortable mattress.

What customers thought

The owner feedback I read is positive. One owner bought it for a daughter in a box room and wrote that "It has given her so much room to do other things", adding that it has an "excellent size desk and she loves the little walk in wardrobe". That wardrobe is a full-height one, built into the frame along with the desk, which is why a box room can take it.

However, from a personal perspective, the price for the Liam High Sleeper strikes as high considering the product's overall value proposition.

The verdict

The Liam Kids Wooden High Sleeper is undeniably stylish, durable, and clever in its multifunctional design. However, assessing value for money, the asking price seems on the higher side. It offers a lot in terms of features, and its construction promises longevity, but the high price might deter some potential buyers.

In summary, while the price tag is steep, the bed truly shines in the right setting. If you're in search of a modern, space-saving solution for your child's room, and are not deterred by the price, the Liam High Sleeper could be a fantastic choice.

Bought this bed for my daughter who has the box room and it is probably the best thing I've ever bought. It has given her so much room to do other things, excellent size desk and she loves the little walk in wardrobe.
