I Built A Gaming Bunk Bed For My Kids

What happens here

Attach 1x2 MDF trim pieces to all exposed plywood edges using a nail gun. This provides a finished look and covers the raw plywood edges. For the lower bunk, reinforce the back panel where a TV will be mounted by adding additional plywood pieces secured with pocket screws. Construct the shelving units within the staircase frame using plywood, again securing with pocket screws for strength. Use wood glue for all trim and panel installations to ensure durability.

Goal: Add 1x2 MDF trim pieces to all exposed plywood edges and create reinforced panels for the lower bunk's TV area and the staircase shelves.
