[@samanthageorge4531]

I think the bed is awesome. It's a full-size bed in what's probably the smallest bedroom, and it has so much storage that she barely needs anything else.. i wouldn't worry about the sides not matching. You can only see one side at a time, and it's really not a problem. It looks great. The whole room looks lovely..

[@MimzyandCompany]

Thank you so much Samantha!

​@@MimzyandCompany Wonderful! 😘 I lived in an efficiency apartment for over 11 years, and I did this with This End Up Furniture and 2 three drawer dressers and 2 hutch bottoms the same size. I made storage underneath, with a King Size Mattress on top. It was an awesome storage bed. Thank you, for the beautiful reminder 💕

[@cynvision]

About the only thing to add is plastic grid flooring squares under mattress to aid in moisture circulation. That's something I've seen other platform bed people do. I've been shopping for futon bed and the comments say to get the grass reed mat to prevent mold starting. Maybe that layer is an option too in this case.

[@MimzyandCompany]

hmm...so far there's no moisture build up/mold under her mattress. probably because she is just one small girl sleeping on the bed. IDK but I check it once in a while to make sure. thank you for the great ideas! this is very good info for others who may need those options. thx!

[@roadwayrona]

People usually would saw many big holes into the plywood. Better not wait for the mould. A grown person loses about 1 ltr every night, partly goes into the clothes and duvet, partly into the mattress. It's a fact.

[@serenkeating7672]

​@@MimzyandCompanyI'd advise doing it before - prevention is better than cure, as they say, and if it gets to the point where you notice it you'd have to replace the whole mattress.

[@loveourbulldogs6388]

​@MimzyandCompany I'm totally confused about the mold comment. People throw Mattresses on the floor and sleep on them.

[@serenkeating7672]

@loveourbulldogs6388 yes, but the lack of air circulation underneath a mattress on the floor means that inside the mattress remains damp, which makes it a perfect breeding ground for mould

[@thelibraryismyhappyplace1618]

Just a little suggestion: consider having the track for the barn door span the width of the bed. It would look more balanced and more like a decorative 'farmhouse-style' feature. As a bonus, you'd be able to open the door in either direction.

great suggestion!

Oftentimes when people make negative comments it's a sign of both immaturity and insecurity - the only way they can feel good about themselves is to insult someone else. I would be tempted to block naysayers. BE KIND OR BE GONE! Obviously having a channel is not for me. i quit watching TV years ago, I strive to avoid negativity.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been wanting a platform base for my bed. I'm going to look at a few different furniture options ❤❤❤

[@galady8632]

@finally97. * I saw your comment is recent so this might be worth considering. The frames sold with 4, 6 or 8 'cubbies' might be an affordable option. I have seen them at Wal-Mart, Target, Ikea, etc. I often see them on the OfferUp app. At my age getting on the floor isn't wise so drawers would be risky. Inexpensive bins for the cubbies are available at the same stores plus Dollar Tree and others. For me moving a bin to my bed to put away clothes would be easy. (I fondly remember being young and agile. I recently broke my predominant shoulder. At 74 I must consider my age and old bones. It's difficult for me to 'act my age' - I have never been this old before now.)

That’s fantastic. I haven’t read all the comments, but in case someone hasn’t pointed out a little tinyteeny flaw, (which potentially is quite a big flaw); if you notice most beds they have slats under the mattress, and not a solid sheet like yours, this is because moisture accrues in the mattress and eventually turns to mould.

Yes. Many others have pointed that out. I check it once in a while and so far so good. No mold. I think since my daughter is a small girl it doesn’t get that warm or humid.

Brilliant & Perfect! Great re-use of something that would have ended up in a landfill.

I have a bed frame that I bout hand made that even though wasn't made from dresser, is very similar to what u have there. Has 4 drawers n a cupboard on each base, n then has the same storage cubby underneath. My cubby doesn't have a door. There is also a headboard w cubbies that leaves openings under the bed for access to that storage area also. I've been trying to figure out how to block those under bed cubbies, because I have cats n they used to sneak under there to poop when I had it set up. (I'm trying to remodel my home so I have no furniture in it). But I still wanted to use the under bed cubbies for storage or as a place to hide from intruders or jus to b alone. I'm only 4 ft 10, so I actually fit under there quite comfortably. Ur sliding door is the best idea I've see as a solution for my under bed cubby yet. N I bet ur dressers r much more sturdy than my bases made out of particle board

All of these smart, wise people out there that have something smart to say? They have something to say because they wouldn't be able to do it. They have to pay somebody to do it for them or they would have to pay the high cost of having somebody do it, you are simply brilliant. I took two waterbed pedestals like a waterbed one time and I needed a seat in my family room and stacked them on top of each other and took a piece of plywood and cut it down for the top with the hinge on it, and of course it had drawers too, and took a piece of foam and my handy stapler, Stanley, stapler, ha ha, and covered it with a really pretty piece of material and everybody walked in my house, wanted that seat, and I found the pedestals out in the back alley that somebody had parted out at waterbed and decided to toss that and that was 20 years ago so you go girl! You have a lot to be proud of. Anybody that would have anything crappy to say is just jealous and I love the little door that you put on there that is so stinking cute and I thought I was smart. I never thought about cutting that darn tall boy in half, I do though ha ha I would love to see more of your stuff. I subscribed because I think you've got a lot going on. You should open your own little furniture place. Don't be afraid to step out on the legend and go for it like you did so darn cute and useful on top of all of that other words I want one.🙏🏻 Just amazing‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️❤️ I just can't get over how I keep re-watching it because it's so cool wow some people have it and some people don't! You've got it girl you are one smart young lady❗️ God bless you and can't wait to see what else you got‼️

The girls had beds like this in university apartments. So dad did very similar thing for last girl in her own very small apartment. The base was a white dresser on one side. The wall side just had legs coming down from wood laid on top of dresser. She wanted the bed to be high & needed the drawer storage underneath. You did a great job.

@@victoriawolf5600 thank you. That’s a great idea. A wall cleat. Would work too just like the legs. So many creative solutions.
