DIY Loft Bed with Iron Piping and Oak

this is just one of a whole bunch of issues i have with this build.

first off... i would have gone with a bigger bed, i would be totally uncomfortable in such a bed.

secondly i would have cut ventilation slats in the bottom of the thicker queen sized mattress box i would have built.

then i would have made it into a 4 poster bed, with the posts going all the way to the roof. the bed box itself would be built right into the posts, connecting in corners inside the posts. i would have lowered the bed about 2 feet lower so that i could have a partner on my chest straddling me without her hitting her head.

okay now its not a loft bed anymore and it's actually a 4 poster princess bed that dominates the room... but you still get a bunch of new storage space underneath, and now you're not gonna sex the bed right off the wall.
