With the third child on the way, my wife and I have decided we now need to start stacking the kids, and this mod trundle bed is just the solution. With a twin bed on casters tucked underneath, this simple geometric design is just the solution for a growing family like ours.

Smart design is green design. Argington uses 99% wood products in it’s furniture, that means no particle board, flake board or other similar wood-like products. The wood comes from managed renewable forrests established specifically to provide long-term responsible solutions towards the growing demand of timber related products – FSC certified. The finishes are non-toxic and can withstand the test of time. Aside from the solid wood components, the birch plywood used in all Argington products are made with low emission glues which nearly eliminate long term emissions and off-gasing.
