I'm watching this knowing damn well im never gonna make this.

What a fanctastic design, I'm a big fan of plywood and this is a great example of why. As you said you could modify this in a number of ways, I think a live edge headboard would be awesome too.

If you wanted to create an different finish you could veneer whatever you wanted on top of that ply and trim it so you don't see the ply layers.

My word that's a beautiful room you showed at the end. The style of the furniture is really sleek and modern, and the floor and walls compliment it perfectly. I really like the aesthetic overall.

Ben, thank you for showing us this bed. I built the bed for my son. It is a twin-XL size. Once I am ready, I’ll build a king-size for myself. Wonderful approach!

[charpnatl]

I’m aware I’m two years late however- This bed looks AMAZING! I too love building and making things from plywood.

It might not fit the modern design aesthetic but I would cover those plywood edges with pool noodles to protect my shins

[strawycape]

Great project! My only worry is that with the slats flush with the sides, when leaning on the headboard the mattress will likely slide towards the end of the bed. I would add frame around the mattress, or drop the slats 2-3 inches below the sides of bed to eliminate this problem

[hamsack]

Ah, the shin splitter style of bed. Notice the smooth modern lines, clean aesthetics, and the ability to split your shins in half.
Seriously though it looks nice.

[MarkCuda]

Holy moly. This is merchandising done right. Well done, sir. I don’t need a bed, but all of a sudden, I do....

Those legs are $200. Not including lumber/supplies/tools.

I typically just find a used wood boxspring, strip it down to the bare wood frame, sanitize, and screw a half inch plywood sheet on top. Nearly free. Can be raised on a normal metal bed frame, or prop on cinderblocks for a few bucks (just run 2x4s along the sides for added support).

Love, LOve, LOVE! The side table ledges are magical. That bedroom setup is so you.

[danram]

That angled headboard is what I have been looking for since forever...it's perfect when reading or watching TV without having extra pillows..

[rjallenbach]

Very cool! I was in the market myself for a real solid wood bed frame, when I saw they were starting at $600 for anything of decent quality I decided to make my own. It was fun and cost 1/4 using good quality lumber. I honestly like your design better tho 😂

Simple, stylish, cheap and reliable. Even people underline can afford living in a comfortable apartment thnx to u man

[Aumi]

How do I get it out of the garage and into the bedroom? Update: i turned my garage into my bedroom.

[Lonerify]

Yes, just what I need. A bed to gouge my shin on everytime I stumble back from the bathroom in the dark.

[diamondheart]

Completely amazing! How I wish I could do something like this! But I have zero experience with tools. A bed like this will last generations!

[TsinghuaWu]

Looking forward to seeing how that desk was made 😁
