Bunky has no sharp edges. All the surfaces are smooth and the materials used to build it are highly durable and easy to clean. It will be extremely difficult to destroy something like this and I’m sure the kids will have fun trying. The perforations under the mattresses of the beds allow for ventilation. Bunky also comes as a child’s single bed, featuring the same friendly design.
