Unlike a traditional bunk bed where the beds are stacked vertically on top of each other an L shaped bed has them stacked perpendicular -  so if you imagine the points of a compass... a traditional bunk would have both beds in a North / South direction on top of each other but an L shaped bunk would have the top bunk in a North / South direction and the bottom bunk in a East / West direction. These L shaped bunks fit into the corner of a room and are great for rooms with limited space as they free up extra floor space.
