Platform Bed

These are some platform beds that were competed in October 2009. They both use full size mattresses, but the platform is about 75” wide. I made a row of cabinets to where they fit on the side of the bed and they fit on top of the platform.

I made the cabinets in 3 pieces, but where they appear as one. The dividing face frame hides the seam between the cabinets. The top is made in one piece to also make it look to be one piece.

One of the beds has a headboard where the other one doesn’t. They both go to the came customer, just one child choose to have a Media Stand instead of the headboard. The one with the headboard will have a frige in that open spot under the headboard.

This is the finished product of the single beds built for the Chi Omega dorm rooms. Ten of these were built. They were completed in June 2009.

They feature a large head board designed with bookcases at the top and small cell phone shelf, which most students use as an alarm clock. Below the small shelf is a hole for the charging cord.

For storage the bed has 4 extra deep drawers with full extension rails. This gives over 5 ½ cubic feet of drawer space. Add the false panel on the other side with the doors and you have over 22 cubic feet of space.
