bunk beds, opinions appreciated

So, we live in a 2 bedroom apartment and won't be moving until we buy a house next year (summer/fall). I am going to have LO in our room for the first few months, so that's all good. But, when we move him/her to the other room (with his/her 2 siblings), I need to figure out how to fit the 3 of them in there. My thoughts were to get a bunk bed for my 2 girls, and then that would leave lots of room for the crib as well as an area to play in. What I need opinions on is whether or not my oldest will be old enough to be on a top bunk. She will be about 4 1/2 when we would make the switch (dd2 will be 3 1/4). Is that too young for a top bunk? I'm a little worried she might fall out and hurt herself. She doesn't fall out of her bed now, though. She's in a twin bed that has a box spring, so she's already at least 2 feet off the ground, but a top bunk is most likely 4-5 feet off the ground. I'm just not sure if the bunk beds is a good idea or not. What are your thoughts?

I'd suggest this one from ikea:

They dont have a picture of
ok not to be snarky, but I thought that you could only have 2 people per room in apartments.
To your post- I would maybe go to a store and test them out and see how your girls would like a bunkbed first.
My son will be that age when we move him and his sister to bunk beds this summer. This is the one we plan to get from Ikea and I am comfortable with him being there with the rails.
