Has anyone got this?

I finally decided I would buy this high sleeper for DS1 with the sofa bed underneath for when DD wants to share his room. All set to order it and it is twice what I thought it was going to cost - £399. Why can't catalogue designers make it more obvious?

I really want it but can't afford £400 now. Any ideas for something similar but more in my price range? TIA.

Sorry I can't see why you thought it might be less - was the undersofa/desk an optional extra to a basic highsleeper frame. Ikea may be cheaper.

Why not just have this Argos frame and buy a seperate chair bed and storage for underneath?

i agree about frame then seperate fold out underneath like this

I thought it was less because it has a picture of it and a box saying £199.99 in big red letters. In miniscule black letters it says from...

Within the picture it als osays with desk and saofabed so I think it was a fair assumption to make.

Just a quick butt in - DS1 wanted a high sleeper which we bought him and he bloody hated it. It was very close to the ceiling and made him feel claustrophobic so we had to buy him a "normal"bed. He was used to sleeping in a top bunk before but this was much higher.

DS likes it as he wants his sister to sleep with him. When I showed him just a high sleeper he said Where is XX going to sleep?

NAB DS1 wanted it too so he could have sleepovers but still hated it. Now his friends or DS2 have to sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag. Don't want you to waste £300 like I did.

Having to rethink as MIL told me he fell out of bed last week. She arrived just as he went so caught him just in time. I also have realised the mattress is almost 9 years old, even though he has only slept on it for 4 and a bit years so back to the drawing board.
