In reply to Sue. Get it Sue! Drawing out the build plans is a great way to work through the build, before any materials are used. Enjoy the whole process. Especially the end when the product you built is all your accomplishment!

I love your work, I have learned so much from you. Your instructions are so clear. I have learned how to build drawers from you, something I thought I’d never be able to do. I am going to attempt to downsize these complete plans to a full-size bed, I live in a 600-square-foot cottage by the sea with only one closet.. I really need storage, wish me luck!

In reply to REBECCA REED. Hi Rebecca. You are correct on the purpose of the cleats. Since this plan is using 1/2" material, the cleats are there for filler. The faceframe will be 1 1/2" thick and if you're installing drawers, you want the inside of the cabinet flush with the faceframe.

I’m doing a near identical remodel in my bedroom, and after combing dozens of DIY storage bed instructions that required significant modification to accommodate the flanking wardrobes, I FINALLY stumbled on your blog. Gold Mine!

In your original design with the side boxes, could you explain the purpose of the cleats on the drawer box dividers before adding the “additional dividers”? Is it just to thicken them up so the face frame has something to attach to?

Thanks in advance.

Would you be able to supply me with plans for a king sized bed. This is exactly what my husband and I want to do for our bed but we need a king as we share our bed with 2 dogs 🙂 Thanks
