<p>So, the rackraisers are sold out and I’ve heard that they’re too tall. I found some 7 inch (that people say are enough) bedrisers from bed,bath,beyond , but i’m not sure if it will hold against the bed(might crush the bedrisers). </p>
<p>any one know any bedrisers that are good alternates that won’t break?</p>
<p>I have the Bed bath beyond ones and I haven’t had any problems. They’re pretty sturdy, I don’t think they can break.</p>
<p>Oh they can break, having 5 people on your bed in the same general area causes it to break.</p>
<p>The Rackraisers are much sturdier than the ones available at Walmart and Bed, Bath & Beyond. They provide significant storage options in the tiny freshman dorms. Check out the Facebook page, kids who move into bigger dorms or dorms with lofted beds often sell their Rackraisers.</p>
<p>If you have A LOT of stuff, you might need the rackraisers, but otherwise the 7 inch ones should be plenty. You do have a full closet with shelves above it, a dresser, a desk with drawers, and shelves by the window - there’s only so much stuff you can really bring. </p>
<p>The only people I saw who had rackraisers were girls who brought a lot of clothes and shoes and everything else. I had the 7 inch ones, and even storing 2 guitars and related stuff (which takes up a decent amount of room) there, I still had empty containers sitting under my bed that I thought I would need, but had nothing to put there.</p>
<p>7 inch is perfect, i had those. easy to set up and not too tall. the rack raisers are way too tall and annoying to set up</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the beds are adjustable (mattresses are able to raise up higher on bed posts) in all of the dorms or just some? My daughter is assigned a room in the Towers but has a direct swap arranged into Rich Hall in West campus. We did buy the wooden 7 inch risers from BB&B.</p>
<p>Towers has loftable beds (you can leave them low, or raise them up high and put a desk underneath). Rich is being renovated right now, and I <em>think</em> it will have adjustable beds (but not loftable), since that’s what Sleeper got when it got renovated. But don’t quote me on that one, since I haven’t lived in West.</p>
