Storage daybed...do I need to trim out the back?

If I am building the storage daybed, but plan to push it up against a wall, is the back trim necessary?

Only if you think you'll want it to be there or not.  Really, that's completely a design preference.

 

Hope that helps!

personally, i like the versatility of being able to move it around if i would like, so i would trim out the back as well. i am also thinking about putting ours on casters so that it is easy to move around when i want to move it around. i'm trying to figure out how to do that. 

 

btw, this project is way low on my list, but i already have multiple plans for it. i'm a bit nuts, and so thankful that i know that about myself.

I would recommend trimming out the back too because the face frame adds considerable strength to the piece.
