Frequently asked questions

Can you design bunk beds or loft beds?

Bunk beds and loft beds are covered by a section of laws specified by the Consumer Products Safety Commission that are different from other beds in many ways. We choose not to manufacture or design elevated beds because of the problems associated with maintaining different product specifications in our line of products. We try to keep our products and procedures simple, straightforward, and cost-effective. This ensures you get a quality product at a reasonable price.

Can I pick up my order at your shop?

At this time we do not allow local pickups due to liability and other issues. If you live close to us, you may fall into our local delivery bracket which is cheaper than standard shipping.

Are our beds right for you and your child?

Our beds are not intended for use by infants or small occupants who require a crib or crib-mattress toddler bed, but they are perfect for when you and your young driver are ready for the transition to a twin mattress or larger bed. As a parent, nobody knows their child better than you.
It is recommended that occupants of our beds weigh more than 50 lbs. This arises from the rules set forth by the Consumer Products Safety Commission that specify one of the criteria for a 'toddler bed' is a maximum weight of 50 lbs. Because our beds do not fit a crib mattress, they cannot meet all of the 'toddler bed' criteria specified in ASTM F1821 which involve specific crib mattress sizing.

Can I get a lower shipping cost?

For buyers of our larger products who live close to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, local delivery may be available at a lower rate than standard shipping. The local delivery price is based on several factors, but mainly distance. Please contact us with your zip code to see if a local delivery quote is available for your order.
We try to keep shipping costs as low as possible with efficient packaging, light product weight, and recycling or reusing packaging materials where possible. However our larger products are still expensive to ship. Please keep in mind that shipping prices include the cost of all packaging materials, shipping/freight, and time to package. These costs are not built into our product prices.

Why do you brush paint instead of spraying or rolling it on?

We prefer the authentic look of detailed, hand-brushed painting. Each of our products is a unique piece of craftsmanship and artistry, especially the paint. Brushing also makes it easier for us to use the safer, more kid-friendly paints that parents prefer.

Can you design toddler beds for crib size mattresses?

Toddler beds with crib size mattresses are covered by a section of Federal regulations that require extensive investment for laboratory testing for every different model sold, even if a color changes. We specialize in custom beds at reasonable prices, so the mass production this sort of investment requires would not be able to keep costs and prices low for our customers.
A crib mattress also limits the size of the bed, which can be rapidly outgrown. As parents, we also determined crib mattress beds to be extremely limiting when a child wanted a parent to temporarily occupy the bed with them, especially as the child grows older.
For these reasons, we do not currently make beds to fit crib size mattresses.

Why are some colors more expensive than others?

There are several reasons why some colors cost more. We only stock a certain range of colors based on popularity and other factors to keep costs down, and so some colors have to be purchased special if ordered. In general it makes most of the colors less expensive, but we have to charge slightly more for colors that are outside this range.
Also some colors are harder to paint than others. They may require more coats, or they may require more time in general to apply.

How long will my order take to produce?

Generally an order will take about three to four weeks in our shop, from order until shipping. This does not include transit time during shipping. Transit times will vary from a day or two up to a week or more depending on how far you are located from us. Sometimes orders will take longer to make based on our current schedule or complexity. When a customer places an order, we typically try to give an estimate of how long it will take. If you want to know our current shop lead-time, please contact us.
