Here are the two designs for the bunk beds. I’ll eventually build 3 of one style and 4 of the other. The first on has a headboard similar to the single prototype that I built. The only difference is there is no fixed shelf at the top. I made it adjustable because of headroom. I also put an adjustable shelf at the bottom also. 
The second one is a bookcase design. I tried to keep the same style. I lowered the height of the headboard and built a couple bookcases for each level. The reason all 7 bunks couldn’t be this design is because of space. This added 9” to the length.
The footboard is a plywood panel with a maple cap on the top. The cap is attached with dowels. This footboard and bracket placement can be used on both styles of bunk beds.

For most of the day, I’ll take a break from this project. I have a huge kings size murphy bed w/bookcases due in a couple days.
