If it can't be attached to anything, make it like an indoor pergola. The cross beams will make the loft stable for kids.
would pallets work? 3 sides and a top? 3 sides hinged together 4th for the top.
Buy a used set of bunkbed that has a storage area like a desk/ play area under it or even another bed at 90 deg angle, then a top bunk for reading. Both beds could be used for day bed type reading areas with couch type pillows for the back rest.
You can build a platform from 2x4s and plywood that can then be pulled apart when it is no longer needed. Line it with cushions and you're golden.
Or you can make this area do double duty by putting the loft over cabinets with a plywood platform. Add a small step ladder or step stool and add cushions, pillows and read!
I think I will try out the building on top of cabinets idea suggested by Roxaneg of Kenosha, WI! I'll let ya all know how it turns out!
