Fantasy Island Type Beds for Kids

The Princess has always had hand-me-down mis-matched furniture in her room, so recently we decided to get her some pieces of her own. She wants a canopy bed, which is kind of hard to find if you are not looking for super-frilly, but I did find one, and some matching pieces at PBTeen. The stuff was a little pricey, but I figured it would last her until she goes to college, so I was willing to pay for the style and quality…until I got to the shipping. For three pieces of furniture and a mattress (without a box spring) it was almost $500 to have it delivered. And I’m sorry, but that’s just crazy talk. When we moved here two years ago, I had 9 rooms full of furniture, including a piano, plus a basement full of kids’ toys moved for a little over $1500. Nine rooms! So, I stopped myself, after asking if they could combine the shipping and being denied, from making a purchase.

From there, I went looking for alternatives, and was shocked to find some CRAZY outrageous kids’ beds that I thought I would share.

First of all, if I had the means, and it was available anywhere, this is the one I would buy for sure.

TweenNick The Retreat Canopy Bed $3150

But three grand is nothing compared to some of these:

English Tudor Cottage Bed – $35,000

Princess Palace Playhouse – $47,000

Fantasy Coach Bed – $47,000

But if princesses aren’t your thing, how about a bed for the little prince?

Tropical Surf Shack Bunk Bed – $16,000

Vintage Race Car Bed – $20,160

Lighthouse Bed (Which also has drawers and a laundry hamper) – $16,150

Deep Space Fighter Bed – (Though let’s face facts – it’s an unliscenced Star Wars bed) – Priced on demand, and I am sure more than my car cost.

Needless to say, I am continuing my search for the perfect bed for our Princess. Let me know if you found anything here for your kids…or self.
