We absolutely LOVE this clubhouse bed. Not sure who loves it more, my litte boy or his parents! My husband has zero wood working skills, but his dad has a few wood working skills, so together they made this happen. We bought half of the lumber-cheapest whatever we could find, and my father -in-law bought the other half -the much more expensive stuff. We probably could have made this around $150-$200 using all the cheap stuff. We added a window box to hold little super heros and a shelf on the opposite window, we also added a shelf half way up on one of the post at the bottom to hold a lantern. We raised the bed 4 inches higher to give more room at the bottom. We used ply wood for the bottom of the bed rather than slats. We used a cherry 223 Minmax -1 coat and then put a clear coat on it.
