Any clue in how I would raise the top bed (the first image is not this specific bunk bed, just the closest image from online to use as an example) height and therefore have more space on the bottom bunk? I know it would have double the stress points if I added blocks in-between, so how would I be able to secure the bunk if they were added? Taking the bed apart completely to replace the legs with higher ones is not an option, as I would just remove the top bunk completely if I wanted to go through that hassle (I don't). I am a beginner woodworker and I am unsure where to start with this!

I also apologise if this is the wrong sub, I wanted to initially post in beginner wood working but I needed some expert opinions on where to go with this...Thanks all!!!
