My wife and I traveled to Boston for Thanksgiving with our daughter. While we were there ,we were browsing around Restoration Hardware and stumbled on a loft bed. My daughter fell in love with it, but I was hesitant of the 3300 price tag, thinking how fast she is growing. I decided to do some research and thanks to your site , I have one happy child. It took me about a week and half start to finish and cost me 600 dollars in all materials , a few miscellaneous tools, and a new mattress . It was fun to build , plans were accurate , and the completed project is flawless. Thank you for your help!!! Bianco Family
Estimated Cost
600 dollars including mattress (twin)
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
Use valspar polar white flat finish , and steel metal flat finish by valspar. I also used DAP cork for all the edges to appear seamless. There is no visible screw holes from using the Kreg tool, except for the bolts to hold framing. (Gives a nice look with bolts if they are shiny) The sanding is time consuming , but time invested makes a great finish. It's a very special project to make for your child. Have fun
