help with buying a bunk bed for 6-year-old twin boys in NYC

Hello,

Moving into the nyc due to new job, we are settling into a small two bedroom apartment. With limited space, I begin shopping for a bunk bed for our twin boys (6-year-old), and hope to get some help from you.

By far, I've been to pottery barn kids store and ikea. I also found raymore & flanigan and ashley furniture store websites which I plan to this week to see the bed in person. Pottery barn is nice, but is a bit expensive (1300 to 1500 without mattresses). Then, Ikea has cheap bunk bed, but I don't feel comfortable having my boys sleeping on it. We are trying not to spend too much, as it is very likely that we would move again out of the city in a year or two.

I would greatly appreciate any advice/suggestion/guidance on where to look at, what to avoid... in order to get a bunk bed at a reasonable price in new york city. Thank you for your help in advance.

Go with the Ikea set. If you aren't planning on keeping the bed for more than a few (5) years, then Ikea will be fine. They won't collapse, look good, and are cheap.

They do have free shuttle buses from NYC Port Authority Bus Terminal.

Check bobs furniture in Paramus.

There's a Costco in NY and, usually, they have great pricing w/delivery. They might not carry all furniture in store but you can always look online:
Costco Bunk Beds

Five point restraints, and don't forget the gags.

There is a Bob's on 116th near the FDR in the Costco / Target shopping center.

If you want to make the IKEA bunk beds last longer, you should also consider buying something like gorilla glue and glue the connections in addition to the camshaft connections they use. It means you won't be able to take it apart, but it will last a lot longer, as those camshaft connections tend to break down over time.
