Why Laminate Furniture Is a Game-Changer for Kids

Why We Chose Laminate

We’re excited to share the news that Rafa-kids F bunk beds are now made in a laminate finish. Children’s furniture should be both beautiful and durable. That’s why we chose premium HPL laminate for our furniture.

This ultra-durable surface is usually reserved for offices and hotels but is rarely seen in children’s furniture.  Why? Because it’s more expensive, this is the reason you mostly see regular painted MDF in kids’ furniture.

Why Laminate is great for kids’ furniture: 

✅ Scratch-resistant — Handles everyday wear, toys, and bumps with ease

✅ Stain-proof & easy to clean — Just a wipe and it looks like new

✅ Antibacterial & allergy friendly 

✅ Hygienic surface — Resistant to common household chemicals and solvents

✅ Fade-resistant — Keeps its beautiful colour for years

✅ Stronger than painted wood — Won’t chip or flake

✅ Sustainable quality — Made in Europe with certified materials

We leave the edges exposed to show the natural beauty of wood.   

The natural wooden edges stay visible, showcasing the beautiful Finnish birch inside. It’s an extra-thick 21mm plywood.  This way, your white or black laminated bed still has elegantly visible wooden details. Thanks to that, you can match the laminated beds nicely with other Rafa-kids furniture in a natural finish. For even more flexibility.

Under the F bunk bed, you can see beautiful wood panels. 

We didn’t want to cover all the bed elements in a white finish, so we left the panels under the mattress without painting them. The 1st class Birch Plywood, it’s worth showing it off! Right!? Your child can see the natural wood when lying under the bunk bed. It gives a beautiful effect.

To protect the edges, we use special hand-applied oil. 

You can’t leave the edges of wood without protection, right? That’s why we use special hand-applied oil to protect the borders, certified for the Safety of Toys. Best of the best! 

Bonus, you will love this soft surface for your kid’s feet. The kids mostly climb up, with their bare feet, when going to sleep at night. That’s why we put extra work into smoothing the bed’s edges and applying oil. I hope you can touch it and discover how delicate and pleasurable the edges are. Pure pleasure!
