    Is there a reason why you didn’t use 4*2 Kallax Storage units instead of two 2*2s?

    Hi, I was wondering if in the space under the bed there would be enough space for a single mattress?

    • @2beauty24
      @2beauty24 Před rokem

      You probably could get a single mattress in there and if anything you could space out the kallax a bit further ensuring the wood is secure enough and in the corplace allowing both top and bottom mattress 😉

      no

    • @alaynalynn3731
      @alaynalynn3731 Před 2 lety

      Yes! Using does slats will air out the mattress, it is more likely for moisture to get stuck when you use a solid piece of wood. This could cause molding
