   Yeay!! So glad that you are gonna give it a go! We only spent around $130 on wood (construction grade lumber) and ended up spending quite a bit on hardware–so I definitely think that OP’s deal would be a better route to take.

   Best of LUCK!!

   you know that you had the drill going backwards right? The holes would have drilled alot easier if you would have had the drill going in the right direction.

   OMG you’re definitely right in that it looks like its going backwards, but I definitely know how to use a drill and assure you it really wasn’t. I’m not sure why it looks that way though…maybe it was a clip of me backing it out for some reason. This poor drill has built two huge yards of privacy fence and now a bed…its about dead!!
   Thanks for watching!

   Looks good! I’m trying to take on this project myself. Did you make up the plans or buy them?

    i want to buy the full hight size loft bed plans…but i was wondering …how tall is your ceiling? and did you buy the tallest version of the loft beds? thanks

    Our ceilings were 9′ and yes we went with the tallest loft height and even added an inch or two. Originally we were planning to add 3 inches but the guy cut one leg wrong so we settled with 93″ legs.

    is that a full bed? I’ve been looking at loft beds all day and they’re almost all twin size. I’m 6’3, a twin size bed feels like a coffin.if that is a full bed, could you tell me if it feels sturdy with two people up there… because I do love to cuddle, and I would hate to miss out on that to save space in my room, lol.

    Thanks so much! I’m glad that you enjoyed it. It was really fun to make. It ended up costing about $260 total. I would recommend going with the hardware package from OPloftbed because its a pain to track down all of the hardware. Some places in Chicago didn’t even carry enough so we had to run all over the place. I would also recommend making it with the 3 center braces and using your existing box spring instead of the plywood + mattress. It made it extremely comfortable.

    Best of luck!

    I responded to this…but it didn’t post?

    Its is actually a QUEEN size bed!! And we are both pretty thick girls…and its extremely sturdy! The design is awesome. It held the box spring + mattress + two people + cats and even a suspended desk from chains below!

    Good work ladies. You two are funny as hell. It’s great to see people actually building their own solutions, that’s a quality that seems rare these days. Cheers.
