How To Make A Platform Bed With Drawers Underneath

A platform bed with drawers underneath is a great way to add extra storage to your bedroom without taking up too much space. It's also a relatively easy project to build, even if you're a beginner. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make your own platform bed with drawers.

Tools and materials:

Saw
Drill
Screws
Wood glue
Clamps
2x4 lumber
4x4 lumber
Plywood
Drawer slides
Drawer pulls

Instructions:

1. Start by building the frame of the bed. Cut four 2x4s to the length of the bed. Then, cut four 4x4s to the height of the bed. Attach the 2x4s to the 4x4s using wood glue and screws.

2. Next, build the platform for the bed. Cut a piece of plywood to the size of the bed frame. Then, attach the plywood to the frame using wood glue and screws.

3. Now, it's time to build the drawers. Cut two pieces of plywood to the size of the drawers. Then, attach the plywood to the drawer slides using wood glue and screws.

4. Once the drawers are built, you can attach them to the bed frame. Simply slide the drawers onto the drawer slides.

5. Finally, add drawer pulls to the drawers. This will make them easier to open and close.

Your platform bed with drawers is now complete! Enjoy the extra storage space!

Tips:

If you want to make a queen-size bed, you will need to use 8 2x4s and 8 4x4s.
You can adjust the height of the bed by changing the length of the 4x4s.
You can also add a headboard to the bed. Simply attach a piece of plywood or fabric to the head of the bed frame.
