This was another build plan from Ana White - she has so many great plans out there! Just like the cabin bed, though, I had a few details I wanted to share with you along the way.
Step 1: Check out the plan and purchase your materials.
You may need to purchase additional 1×3, 1×4, or other sizes lumber for the faces of your drawers. If you have enough 1x scrap wood hanging around, that’s awesome. I think I split the difference and probably took some boards from my upcoming barn door build.
Step 2: Cut your boards for the side benches, which are detailed in the Queen scrap storage bed plan.
- 2 – 3/4″ plywood @ 15 3/4″ x 62 1/2″
- 6 – 3/4″ plywood @ 15 3/4″ x 15 3/4″
- 8 – 1×4 @ 30 1/8″
- 4 – 1×2 @ 16 1/2″
- 2 – 1×2 @ 61″
- 2 – 1×4 @ 61″
Side Bench Drawers
- 8 – 1×8 @ 15 3/4″
- 8 – 1×8 @ 27 5/8″
- 4 – 1/4″ plywood @ 15 3/4″ x 29 1/8″
Have a question about this project?
Is the rug there to stay or will it get moved? Would it be easy to add a head board? Love the different colors of stain!
When I first took the pictures of the build, I had our old rug in place. When our new rug came, I disassembled the bed, moved each of the benches off of the rug and rolled it up. After putting the new rug down, I reassembled it. It was not bad, but a little more work than just a normal metal frame. I actually did install a headboard! I took out the drawers closest to the headboard and made the holes for the bolts to go through - then it bolted right to the bench!
Super cool project and the wood is beautiful
Thank you!
So this questIon has nothing to do with the bed frame which I’d GORGEOUS!
i would love to know about the king size top bed covers. 😊
my bed is king I can’t find ANYTHING labeled as king long enough or wide enough...
except my flat sheet that hangs out both sides & bottom ☹️
these look like they’d early touching the floor ❤️
have you tried California King
