DIY Daybed - How to build (step by step)

In this video, I’ll show you how to build a daybed. This is the perfect build for a guest room or for a kids room. It’s a full size so it has plenty of space to get comfy.

My daughter badly needed a bed but since she has a small room, I decided a daybed was best to maximize space.

I hope you enjoy building this daybed build with me!

This is amazing I want to do one! Roughly how much did you spend on wood and any assembly pieces(tools not included)?

Good video. But keep your background music down when you are speaking. I hope that your channel grows quickly.
