It's not fine woodworking but my wife and daughter love it. It's just 3 sections of mdf boxes with a slat down the middle ( it was not screwed down in the pics). My wife is going to buy baskets for the cubbies. They saw a pic on the pottery barn website and that's how I came up with the idea.

Thanks for looking,
Bob

The bed looks great and your little girl looks very happy with the out come.

It also keeps your kid from using under the bed as a place to shove everything when you tell her to clean her room.

Good thing my parent's didn't have a bed like that for me. I was a master of cramming everything under the bed.

Nice Design

LOL's but there are cubbies on the other side with about a foot of clearence to the wall, I am sure those will get used as cramming location in the future,

I think that is an outstanding and practical solution for a child's room! Bravo. Nice execution!

Bob, that is one of the simplest yet most attractive projects I've seen in a while. Well done. Perhaps you could share details on your finish - was it sprayed?

If all the toys fit under the bed,,, then the room is considered clean right?

Good job on the bed, She looks like a princess on her throne..

Shawn,
It was just rolled on with 2 coats of zinger primer and 2 coats of paint. The paint job looks pretty good up close.
