Finally, before heading to a retail hardware store like the famous McGuckin's of Boulder, I decided to go check out ReSource, an architectural & building salvage shop in town.

My plan for that is a milk crate full of books that I can slide into to the middle if I see an issue, or a builder can purchase a 5th cabinet.

7 years ago I'd be splitting the OSB if I rolled to the center, and I'd be a bit concerned for the cabinets should I put my shoes on while sitting on one corner of the bed. Reply

Clever! Plus it had been awhile since I built something and my brain was itchy. I never would have thought about kitchen cabinets.. and according to the pics, you use them like mini lockers on their sides.

Who does not welcome additional storage space around the house right? 6 years ago I drag a lot of books around. This is bad ass. I'm researching making it with some modifications.

I would suggest finding some 2"x4" pieces of wood the same width or slightly shorter than the total width of the cabinets; within 6" of the total width will work, so long as you don't lie on the extreme edges of the bed. 4 years ago. This is easy, pick the $5 cabinets with similar widths. Since the storage is underneath the bed itself, people do not need to see the mess you have created.

And this DIY bed frame would also be perfect for a studio flat where space is limited.

Bonus Protocols :: Has to look good, be sturdy, & it has to be possible for one person to carry & transport the materials without a truck or van. :) Any way, I'm going for cheap chic.

Thus far, I have only been using bed raisers which help to elevate the bed by a few inches good enough for me to squeeze in some storage boxes which are clearly still insufficient. If it is your style, consider painting mismatched cabinets the same color to make the look more uniform. Salvage doors (a good choice for size & sturdiness, but not in the budget, and what would they rest them on?)

4. I think I have a few of the pallets and other stuff necessary to build this modular bed in my self storage unit which can finally be worked on. 5. BTW, my bed is a twin, NOT a full, queen or king size.

Pallets (too splintery and not enough storage) OSB does not have the same strength as plywood, is very susceptible to ANY kind of moisture(not talking intimacy, but rather moisture in the air, spilled drinks, etc), and even though it does not apply in this instance, has a rougher texture than plywood. on Step 3.
