Hi,
I am surprised to find no kid's beds plans in here--I figured that was a common task folks did.
I am looking for any pointers or links folks may have for a twin size bed for 4 year old boys. I can certainly design something, but it would be without any basis in previously making a bed, and I'd probably make some mistakes... hoping to avoid that!
My design thoughts were a base that sits on casters, with storage drawers that pull out. It would support a twin mattress, without a box spring so it would be a platform. I had thought a headboard/bookcase would be nice. I've been unable to find anything close on the web.
Any inputs or comments on such things as
1. is this a decent plan idea for boys?
2. What kind of joints/knockdown would you recommend?
3. pictures of alternate ideas
would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks, Dave
-------DOH! Embarrassed, I just found another forum "Design Forum" and when I searched it, found some posts/threads with beds. Reading now...
