Metal Tube Bunk Bed - How Made?
On a metal tube type bunk bed, how many pieces does it come in to be assembled and what are those pieces? I have found a bed we are considering, but it is a bunk and we would like to use just the top part (like a loft bed). We would have other items underneath to stabilize. But is that even possible? Can you leave off the bottom bunk mattress slats/holder piece, and still have the complete sides?

The construction of many of these beds is such that it is just barely able to stand under normal use when assembled as designed. If you deviate from the design, it may not stand at all.
It isn't that these products aren't any good. The problem is that consumers are always shopping for the lowest price and so manufacturers shave every expense in order to produce a product at a competitive price. But that leaves little margin for excessive wear, abuse, or alternative uses.
If you want a bed that has an open area underneath, but one that is designed that way. Otherwise, you will likely be unhappy with the results.
If you do choose the bed I recommend, it will likely have a ladder, two ends, two side rails and a row of supports for the mattress. These beds can usually be built in about a hour and typically pretty easy to assemble.
