About

Home made loft bed, underneath storage.
Made entirely out of 2" x 4" boards, miscellaneous screws and bolts of varying sizes, and about 8 corner brackets.

Dimensions:
Height 60 in.
Width; 42 in. (approx.)
Length; 80 in. (approx.)

If no mattress if put on it's just under 5' feet tall, and can fit about 8x 18gal storage bins (without stacking) on top, and 12-20x 18gal storage bins underneath (approximately, has not been tested.)

Construction was fairly easy, but frequent battery charges were necessary for the saw and drill (shared a battery,) which meant some down time while it was charging.
