description: My daughter always wanted a low loft bed for his bedroom. I did a makeover surprise for her room while she was away at a sleep away camp for a week.
At first I bought a low loft bed Walmart and after completing the assembly, I realize how he looked in his room. My son has a bed Odda (pix, right) offered to take the Walmart ugly loft and talk with her bed
Having only 2 days to complete the surprise, I bought some Besta libraries to the base and turned Odda bed in a loft bed.
First, I gathered all the Besta libraries and screwed together with some metal braces and brackets.
I assembled the Odda bed frame on top of the Besta base and screw them to the base with L brackets.
We had a safety bed rail we were hanging out more with, so I used to make the side wall to the loft.
The final step is to add the Trofast shelves for stairs.
I was drawing all the 3D parts before going to Ikea to buy all the items. Thank you to Ikea website that listed all the dimensions of the product, all parts perfectly into the room.
My daughter loves her new room.
* Note * I know the Besta has an exposed back side of the stairs. I plan to finish with a cloth. I built it all by myself in 2 nights. It was good enough for the surprise.
