<p>I thought I was done with this site, since I haven't gone on in over a year. Anyway, I'm living in coral towers next year, and I just got an email saying that my room requires the beds to be "permanently bunked." I lived in founders last year so I'm unfortunately a bit spoiled. I've heard that you can debunk the beds as long as they fit, which I know they do cause I've seen the room without bunk beds. Has anyone debunked a bed at nyu and know how exactly to go about doing it. It doesn't seem very hard, but you probably need to have the right tools. Thanks.</p>
<p>My daughter debunked her bed in Rubin and when in palladium they were not bunked. I just think it is a long post that fits in the the feet of the bed.</p>
<p>Thanks. So as far as you know, its pretty simple to do then?</p>
<p>matt789,</p>
<p>My S and friends apparently had an easy time doing the reverse in a really, really small double in Coral Tower this summer. They bunked the two twin beds together. I was amazed that he did that, but he made it seem like it was not a big matter.</p>
<p>Key is to have friends to help out which I am sure will not be hard, with roommates, suitemates and friends. I can check with S again to ask him how the process was in bunking the beds. I am sure that is not very different from debunking the beds.</p>
<p>If you can find out how it was done, that would be great. I know for a fact that the room is big enough to have the beds unbunked. And I would personally rather have less space and better sleep, because I don’t spend much time in my room anyway. Thanks for the advice.</p>
<p>matt789,</p>
<p>Just spoke to my S. (Enjoying having him around the house. 
)</p>
<p>He said it is really straightforward. No tools required. Bunk beds fit together via the positioning of the tops of the four corner posts. Just make sure you find where the posts meet between the upper and lower beds. He said you probably have to have one other person (I say maybe even two other strong people) to help you to lift the upper bed off the lower bed by around 5 inches to detach the two beds. My S did it with one other guy, but I have to say my S is pretty strong when it comes to lifting things. </p>
<p>Then just move upper bed to the position on the floor that you require. That is it. No screws. No tools required.</p>
<p>Thanks! That sounds pretty simple. The only thing that I’m confused about is what exactly holds the two beds together. When you lift the upper bed by about 5inches from the lower one, is there sometime of bar that holds the two together? Or are the beds basically just stacked one ontop of the other?</p>
<p>The beds are stacked one on top of the other and there are “holes” on the posts of one bed that the parts of the posts from the other bed match up with. My understanding is that there are pieces (on the posts) that match up in beds that can be bunked. Kind of like the way lego pieces fit together. My simplistic way of explaining it, hearing it described to me briefly.</p>
