What age is appropriate for bunk beds?
For the bottom bunk, wait until your child has outgrown their toddler bed and is ready to upgrade to a larger children’s bed. This usually happens at around the age of five or six years old.

Generally speaking, bunk beds are suitable for kids who are aged between 6-16 years old.

How can I be sure my furniture will fit?
Before buying furniture, it is important customers confirm the measurements of their room as well as all access points before placing the order. Measurement details for each furniture item are displayed on their individual product information page
Certain furniture items are fully assembled on arrival and it’s important to check that they will fit into the proportion of the room. We advise customers to check the item will fit through doorways, hallways and up stairs without damaging paintwork or windows. If our delivery team cannot get the furniture item into the house, they will need to return to us at the customer’s expense.
A useful way to check whether furniture will fit in a particular room is to map out the space using masking tape or newspaper. With dining tables, we would advise at least 60cm (24in) clearance from the chair when it’s out from the table to sit comfortably. When replacing older furniture, mark out the area of the new piece compared to the existing piece to check the difference in size.

How accurate is Flanagan Kerin’s photography?
We take great care in capturing representative imagery of all the finishes and fabrics we have on display.
Sometimes, due to individual computer display settings, colour variation and individual lighting conditions, it is difficult to ensure that what you see on your monitor will be identical to the actual product…
That’s why you are more than welcome to come into our showroom and look at fabric swatches or we can post out some swatches upon request.
(Flanagan Kerins cannot accept responsibility if there is a slight difference in colour between actual products and images on the website – so when it comes to swatches, please do ask away.)
Are all sofas displayed in your showroom?
The majority of our sofas are displayed in store, however to check whether the specific sofa you like is available in store, please call +353 12813338 available from 10am – 6pm, Monday-Friday, or alternatively they can call you back at a time to suit you.
