faktum Storage Bed
Materials : Faktum (or equivalent) cabinets, Box Spring Bed (mine is Sultan Salhus), plywood, wood for walking and internal structure, various tools, screws and various bits
description : - Measure the space you have and understand that the size of cabinets to use and how to display them.
I used 9 cabinets Faktum Total: 4 x 80 cm wide, 1 x 60 cm wide (total width of the space was only 230 cm) and 4 x 40 cm wide, layed like in the picture.
- Assemble all full-height cabinets. Let's support off one of the great - it will be the door of the storage space.
- Shorten the cabinets as necessary prior to assembly. This is fairly easy to understand when you look at the pieces, if you have a DIY experience before with tools. I'm looking into creating a tutorial for this, when I have time ...
- Arrange the cabinets. Possibly ask cabinets on an equal work, so they are easier to open. This also allows to fix the cabinets: you can screw them on foot.
- Fix the cabinets to each other and build an internal structure to strengthen and make the most of the weight of the bed and everyone on it.
- possibly cover the tops of cabinets with plywood (or other material) for a sleeker look. Treat your chosen material (I waxed plywood after fine sanding) so it is easier to clean and keep fun to watch.
- set the bed on top of the structure. I used steel supports (used on the many places in the building as well).
- Secure doors and handles. Align the doors.
- Step back and enjoy! And then fill it. There are more photos in my blog.
