Great video. I’ve seen many examples of this style of bed (see Never Too Small) but few that show how to build one. Another variation for adult bed, design the gap/ladder at the point where you’d naturally swing your legs around, rather than at end of bed, where you’d have to shimmy down. I love the cubby underneath- fun for sleepovers.

The work you guys did is really amazing. I would say though, as a tip, to take all the nordli drawers out and coat the sides and back with an anti-mildew moldproof primer like zissner or something. Ive had a nordli bed for 3 years and it is fantastic for storage but I have noticed black coatings developing on the drawers, after a year, i thought it was dust and i was wiping it down often but it is mold. I reorganized my drawers and noticed it coating even some places on the inside of drawers. I searched the internet and lots of people are having this problem with the nordli drawers. I will need to take mine out and spray them with an anti-mold primer. I am highly allergic to mold (i think most peiple are) and have been congested while going to bed and waking up. I realized today its because my bed is growing mold in the drawers.

I absolutely love the cubby underneath! I dream of one day owning a home so I can build things like this. I am a bit concerned about ventilation for the cubby, though - there doesn't seem to be any, except for the cut-out in the door handle? If a kid was hanging out in the cubby with the door shut, I imagine it'd get pretty stuffy before too long?

I’ve seen people warning about mold, but the only anecdote I’ve read where someone actually got mold was when they had their mattress directly on the floor. My whole family has had mattresses on plywood or even inside a solid waterbed frame for decades and nothing ever molded.

Yeah, I agree that people probably worry too much about it and I’ve never seen it first hand.

It depends on your climate. Im my climate we definately get mould if we put a mtress on solid ply, but we just use a hole saw to cut a few holes and it gets enough airflow to not get mould

2:04 It would've been great if you made each lower shelf deeper than the one over each one so that it looks like stairs instead of just a book case. I think your son would have felt safer climbing stairs then a bookcase where each one is the same depth. But to still keep things inside each shelf as if the same depth so that his feet wouldn't step on his things.

I’m no furniture builder, but I would probably consider 4x4 posts and joists depending on how high off the ground you want it. I put a link to the tiles I used on Amazon in the description if that helps.

This may seem odd but do you think this would be appropriate for an adult. I live in a prewar house with ceilings that are 13ft tall. Wondered if i could pull this project off but so that i can walk underneath the whole bed with a full sized door, as an office space for when i work from home? Do you think this would be doable or impractical due to the height of the bed?
@happilybeforeandafter
@happilybeforeandafter 4 месяца назад
Maybe not as an IKEA hack because I don't think they make dressers that tall. I think it's possible to do what you're saying, but probably not practical for most adults. I would make sure to support it better using 4x4 posts.

See if Ikea sells a taller dresser or you can try stacking two dressers on top and attach them with metal brackets. You’d need to adjust the side support height and bookshelf height depending on the dresser height.
