Just had a dwarf go into the barracks to sleep and he used a weapon rack. Everything was setup correctly anyone else seen this? Barracks had 6 empty beds for him to use, two armour stands and two weapon racks.

It conjures up a rather odd image in my head

Sleep on a bed?  NEVAH!  I AHM A WEAPON!  I SLEEPS ON A WEAPON RAKKH!

Have you designated the barracks to extend beyond the tile the weapon rack is on? The dwarves might think that it's the only tile that counts as the barracks; therefor they try to sleep on it.

in all honesty, a weapon rack may be more comfortable than a wooden slab, unless beds are contoured to a dwarf's body

If I had the chance to sleep somewhere, I'd take flexible wood over the hard stone with sharp objects poking out of it. But I'm weird.

Artifact beds. Those dwarves are tough.

Double checked it. The Barracks is designated from one of the armor stands, fills the whole room including all beds and other furniture. So no error there.

Goin to keep an eye on the barracks and see if it happens again. Might be something to do with multiple furniture items in the barracks zone.

Though if I could persuade them all to sleep on weapon racks you could fit a lot more dorfs in the sleeping areas.
