Moab Stair Loft Bed

There is no better use of vertical space in a kid's room than a loft bed done right. The Moab Stair Loft Bed by Babyletto does it exceptionally right. At 74" tall, it transforms a single room into a multi-function environment: a twin sleep space above, accessed by a proper staircase rather than a ladder; a built-in corner desk and shelves below; two smooth-glide drawers; and a signature arched opening that creates the kind of under-loft hideaway that makes a kid's room feel genuinely magical.

The staircase matters. Wider steps, more stable than a ladder, give younger kids a confident climb and give parents the peace of mind that comes with a safer access point. The desk is built-in and real — tucked into the corner beneath the loft, with the option to face it inward or outward depending on how the room is laid out. The built-in shelves and upper cubby organizers handle books, toys, and the everyday essentials that otherwise end up on the floor.

The under-loft arch is also sized to accommodate the Moab Twin Bed or Moab Full Bed (each sold separately), turning one room into a two-bed configuration — the most practical answer to room-sharing in a New York City apartment. White glove delivery and assembly is required for this piece, and given that it arrives in multiple boxes at 436 lbs assembled, that is the right call. GREENGUARD Gold certified, FSC® certified, TSCA compliant MDF, lead and phthalate safe throughout.

Best For / Not Ideal For

Best For

•       NYC families with two kids sharing one room: the under-loft arch fits the Moab Twin or Moab Full Bed, giving you two complete sleep surfaces in a single room's footprint

•       Kids who need a study space: the built-in corner desk with two drawers is a proper workspace, not an afterthought — and it can be oriented to suit the room layout

•       Parents who want a room that earns its square footage: loft sleep space above, desk, shelving, drawers, and a second bed option below — this is the most functional use of a kid's bedroom possible

•       Design-forward rooms where the furniture is the room: the Moab's signature arched silhouette at 74" tall is a sculptural statement that transforms the space

•       Families graduating from a Moab crib or Moab Twin Bed — the collection's design language carries through, and the Moab Twin Bed slots directly under the loft arch

•       Parents who value safer access over speed: the staircase provides wider, more stable steps than a ladder — meaningfully better for younger kids making their way up independently

 

Not Ideal For

•       Low-ceiling rooms: at 74"H assembled, plus the mattress, confirm adequate headroom above the top sleep surface — standard 8-foot NYC ceilings work, but measure carefully

•       Very narrow rooms: at 112"L × 40.5"W, this is a room-defining piece — it needs to be the right room for it

•       Buyers expecting a mattress included — the twin mattress is sold separately; recommended thickness is 7.5"

•       Families who are not ready for white glove delivery: at 436 lbs across multiple boxes, this item requires professional delivery and assembly; it cannot be self-assembled like a standard flat-pack

•       Kids under the recommended age or weight limit for loft beds — consult the weight limits and your pediatrician for readiness guidance

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does it require white glove delivery? Can I assemble it myself?

The Moab Stair Loft arrives in multiple boxes at 436 lbs assembled. The complexity of the build, the weight of the components, and the safety stakes of a correctly assembled loft bed make professional delivery and assembly the right call. This is not a flat-pack project. White glove is required, not optional, and is factored into the purchase.

Can I fit a second bed underneath?

Yes. The signature arched opening is specifically sized to accommodate the Moab Twin Bed or the Moab Full Bed (each sold separately). This creates a two-bed configuration within a single room — the most practical answer to room-sharing in a New York apartment. Both beds slot cleanly under the arch and maintain the cohesive Moab aesthetic.

Why stairs instead of a ladder?

Stairs provide wider, more stable steps than a ladder — a meaningfully safer and more confidence-inspiring climb, especially for younger kids. The staircase also incorporates built-in storage, so the footprint it occupies earns its place in the room.

What mattress does it take? Is there a thickness limit?

The loft takes a standard twin mattress; box spring not required. The recommended mattress thickness is 7.5" — Babyletto's Essential 7.5" Twin Kids Mattress is the natural pairing. Staying within the recommended thickness is important for guardrail safety on the upper sleep surface.

How much ceiling height do I need?

The assembled loft is 74"H. Add the mattress thickness (7.5" recommended) and factor in comfortable sitting headroom for whoever is sleeping on top. Standard 8-foot NYC ceilings work for most setups, but measure carefully before ordering — this is not a piece you want to find doesn't fit after white glove delivery.

Can the desk be configured for either side of the room?

Yes. The built-in corner desk can be positioned facing inward — toward the under-loft space — or outward, toward the room. This gives you meaningful flexibility to suit different room layouts, supervision preferences, or how the child likes to work.

What are the weight limits?

The top loft holds up to 200 lbs. The under-loft area, if used with a Moab Twin or Full Bed, holds up to 250 lbs for the lower sleep surface.

Is it GREENGUARD Gold certified?

Yes. Tested for over 10,000 chemical emissions and VOCs — for a room where a child sleeps and spends significant time studying and playing, that certification matters.

Does it pair with other Moab collection pieces?

Yes. The Moab Stair Loft is part of the Moab collection, which includes the Moab Twin Bed, Moab Full Bed, and Moab Dresser. The Moab Twin Bed is the natural starting point for a family who already has or is considering the loft — it slots directly under the arch and shares the same architectural design language.

Can I see it in person at Babesta?

Why Babesta Carries It

Two kids in one room is one of the most common design challenges we help New York families solve. Most solutions involve compromise: two beds that crowd the room, or a bunk bed that handles sleeping but leaves no space for anything else. The Moab Stair Loft refuses the compromise. Sleep above, desk and shelving and storage below, and the option to add a full second bed under the arch. One piece handles most of what a kid's room needs to do.

The design is the other reason we carry it. The Moab's arched silhouette is a genuine piece of furniture architecture — at 74" tall it becomes the visual anchor of the room in a way that a standard bunk or loft simply doesn't. Parents who care about how their kids' rooms look, and kids who want a space that feels like theirs, both get what they need from this piece.

The staircase, the desk orientation flexibility, the built-in cubbies on top — these are details that reflect genuine thinking about how kids actually use their rooms. We carry the Moab Stair Loft because it solves the city room-sharing problem beautifully, and because the Moab Dresser completes a full room that a child will want to grow up in.
