Kids bed with computer table underneath
« on: January 05, 2013, 11:06:14 AM »
This is a bit of an odd one but I assured my son that Myswaggers would be able to help us out!!

We are trying to find one of those beds that has the bed up top and a student type desk thing underneath.....where do we buy them and what would you call it?

We are pretty limited down here and so far our searches have come up with nothing.

Can someone send us in the right direction??

This post brings back memories,

I slept in this bed configuration from about 10 to 16 yo, at 16 I was over it, so a mate and i got dads circular saw and made it into a single bed  >:D

We bought our daughters bed from "Snooze". Also received 10 per cent NRMA member discount. Think all up including mattress cost about $900. Positives of this style of bed is heaps of storage, takes up less floor space. Negatives are it is a pain in the butt to change the sheets. We placed the bed a bit too close to the wall, so I have to climb up into the bed to change sheets. It's too hard to move again after setting it all up, is way too heavy, so my husband will not move it. Hope this helps.

Looked into these just this week for the `12 year old.
Found the head height under the bed (desk area) averaged around 1500, which seemed a bit low.
Decided to stay with the single bed and a new desk and bookcase instead,.

I made my own about 14 years ago so I don't have any digital photos to show you but after building you camper a bed should be easy.

I did have 10' 6" high ceilings so I could get a good distance from the desk top to the bed bottom.

He thinks the fantastic furniture ones look like cheap pieces of #$%^, he must be paying for this himself ;)

He has made some nice furniture pieces in high school so I think it will make a great dad and son project, but he wants one made of wood. Can you weld wood? Anyway, last time I made furniture from wood it was a TV stand for a bedroom, it was 4 pieces of wood joined together, surely a bed cant be too hard? :D

But for this sort of money for one of these why would you bother.........http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/huntfield-heights/other-furniture/bunkers-low-line-bunk-bed-super-desk-space-saver/1008509984

Ikea also used to have them, but they look like the same as the one from Fantastic Furniture, I bought one with a double on the top for a bottle of bourbon off someone at work for one of my kids.

Hey Danny

I have been thinking about the same thing of late.

What I came up with, yet to be built, is a steel rhs frame the size of the bed mattress.  100 x 50 x 1.2 or 1.6mm.  Some thin angle welded on the inside of the long runs and then pine slats lay across them.  coat of paint.

Now for the fun.  Bolt the frame into one corner of the bedroom at the appropriate height at each of the 450mm centre studs using hex head wood screws.
Then in the corner that is not supported run a balestrade cable from the corner up to the rafters in the roof.  All done.

The you can put your desk or whatever underneath.  Sleek, stylish and tight a$$.  Is there anything else in life?

I could draw a picture  :D

Surely dazzlers 100x50 frame coach bolted to the walls and suspended from the rafters with the roof top tent on top would comply with those standards? :D
