Default The latest bed is finished and delivered!

This is the second finished multi drawer bed that I have built since
July. This bed is made of walnut and white oak and has 18 drawers.

Side view refection of double row drawers.

The completed bed in a freshly painted room, 30 minutes ago freshly painted.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/

And ready to be used.

The bed that was replaced, I had to relocate this one to another
bedroom, It has a single row of drawers, 9 total. This bed is just shy
of 6 years old.

The bed is gorgeous but the guy in the mirror ruins the whole effect.

Both beds look really great.

Did you leave instructions for disassembly in the future if you
weren't around? I'd really hate to see someone mess them up out of
ignorance. (Or assy picts)? They'd be worth another 500

Découpage the instructions to the bed deck? The bottom of a drawer
may be better but there is too much chance that it'll be found only
after the bed has been destroyed.

I know, right? I hate to be in pictures of my work and don't quite
understand those that pose with their projects. LOL

What sort of drawer slides?



I attached, screwed 1/2" thick x 1.25" tall runners from one side of the
bed to the other on both sides of the dividers. Topped those BB runners
with 1/4" x 1/2" strips of maple. The drawers slide on top of those
runners.

I added stops to prevent the outer drawers from going in past the face
frames. The stops are taller than the inner/center drawers so that the
hidden inner/center drawers will slide under the stops. Each drawer
opening holds 3 drawers, left/center/right side drawers.

Actually the customers, this time my son, watch assembly. It is really
pretty simple. Remove the decking under the mattress and then remove
the 2 bolts on each post.

Default I learned a trick

These beds bottom drawer units are large. They are approximately 80"
tall by 77" wide, for the king sized.

Major parts are numerous drawers, 9 single layer, 18 double layer. 2
deck panels to support the mattress, and the head/foot boards. AND the
bottom drawer unit.

Obviously the bottom drawer units have to be rotated 90 degrees so that
the side face frames are on top and bottom. In this orientation they
clear door openings by a couple of inches.

I just happened to have some carpet remanent pieces, one about 12 feet
by 20 inches. We sat the carpet on the customers garage floor and the
bed base unit on the remanent. Then we drug the whole thing up over the
step and garage door threshold and into the house. From there around
corners and into the bedroom. Worked better than furniture dollies. NO
more grunting and groaning!
