description :. this design inspired our design and it
I was having trouble finding a platform bed for our California king bed frame. It became frustrating. I was looking on Craigslist hoping to find a treasure when someone mentioned www.ikeahackers.net on their position. I took a look and was totally inspired.
We went to Ikea to buy the paintings lack. I choose white effect and birch. Whiteboards were $ 6.99 and birch effect tables were $ 9.99. We then bought the screws, plywood, metal plates, braces T-like, and you feel at Home Depot. We had to work.
1. We exposed the checkerboard pattern face down. 12 metal plates were fixed with screws as shown.
2. We then strengthened the structure by placing metal plates in a square formation where the four corners meet.
3. We have attached the legs to the frame using the 2 screws face that come with Lack tables. Then we attached the T-braces as the two outer branches for safety and additional metal plates to the two inner legs.
4. My husband tied to additional Lack legs at the bottom of plywood against. He used an additional piece of plywood to connect two pieces and legs tied around the center. All lack legs were used as the basis of our platform bed and head.
5. We used pieces of felt to cover the tops of the screws in the corners so it would not tear the bottom of the mattress.
6. We moved the headboard in the bedroom behind the bed
7. The weight of the bed and the platform against the head, it gives a lot of security.
Total spent: $ 158.98 plus taxes
Thanks to all the wonderful inspiration. So glad I found this site.
