Thanks for showing exactly how you did this, so many other vids never show the entire process. And that tip about the drill bit size with the screw was perfect!
You did an amazing job AND an amazing job showing us. I will be using this as a basis for my studio apartment, taking my bed into the kitchen and out of the living room!
Well done darling. You reminded me that simple really is even more beautiful đ
Thank you for sharing đđđđ
Nice Vid! Keep it up!
Does your mattress tend to slide? I want to make this but thinking that mattress will keep sliding about lol
Is there a reason why you didnât use 4*2 Kallax Storage units instead of two 2*2s?
Is it easy to get into the bed? It looks s really high
Hi! This video was so awesome and helpful! Was just wondering, where did you purchase the shelves ?! :) trying to find steady enough ones!
The shelves are on IKEA
You can find them on IKEA
how much did the Kallax shelves and all other material cost?
How many shelves would you recommend for a king size? I love this idea! Thank you for sharing :)
Glad to help! I attached a file on the description for you to get a clear picture of how many shelves & how they're set up. It would be set up differently than the one on the video.
Hi. I was wondering if you could do a update video on how the bed looks after a few months because I really want to know if this bed is sturdy enough
@@seianie oh that sounds amazing Thankyou very much
hey, i canât see the response to this. is it sturdy enough still ?.
How much did this cost you?
Hi, I was wondering if in the space under the bed there would be enough space for a single mattress?
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 đ
are all 6 of the kallax shelves the 77x147 cm ones?
They are the 34,99 ones
Itâs 30 x 30
Is it uncomfortable to sleep on since itâs wood and not a box spring?
@@seianie Okay Thank you!
I AM DOING THIS. Is there a reason to use lumber slats instead of a large solid piece of wood? đ
no
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
Hi dear, may I know is it strong till now? Afraid the cabinet will break
Hi! Glad you asked, it is still doing great for me. I will be soon posting a video about it for a more detailed review (:
@@seianie have you posted the updated video? I'm getting ready to do this for my partner and I. I was wondering the same thing about sturdiness.
can you tell me the exact shelves you used?
Sure, its the 30x30 kallax shelves from ikea
Can u plz do a video of u making a fort under the storage space of this bed with led light and snacks and a movie plzzz I wanna see what it looks like
What size bed did you use
@@seianie ok thank you
@@seianie thankyou I have literally been searching all over CZcams for a full size bed do you know if it will be good with the extra shelf in the front I want like a box shape
@@seianie would it still work if I used the smaller kallax shelf and just pushed it between the 2 side shelfs
@@seianie oh ok I will just use the first idea and plan it out a different way
@@seianie ohh ok thankyou so much
Just narrate! Nobody likes to read, especially while working or whatever.
