Study Area
Loft beds with desks are popular among college students who live in cramped dorms and apartments.

Research shows that children who have their own study areas and desks are more organized and develop better studies. They also do better in school.

Many of our loft beds come with whiteboard, desk or corkboard, and five 10" deep shelves. These shelves are great for storage and study.
