I Built A Luxury Playhouse Bunk Bed

What happens here

Construct three custom wooden boxes, each designed to be a step and a storage compartment. Cut MDF or plywood pieces to create the box sides and bottom, assembling them with wood screws and glue. Each box should have a lift-up lid for easy access to storage. Arrange the boxes in a staggered stair formation that fits precisely against the bed frame. Secure the boxes to each other and to the bed frame to ensure stability and safety for climbing.

Goal: Build a set of stairs that double as storage, designed to fit snugly against the bed frame. These stairs are formed by stacking custom-made wooden boxes with lift-up lids, providing both access to the loft and practical storage space.

What they say

slice and dice and put these together. on to the steps. Harper, she requested specifically steps coming up a light like we got her a picture of an elephant, which we will provide. Now, for the steps, because I have these storage bins, and I think they're great. We're going to use those as steps you can step on. So, what I'm going to have to do is build a 2x4 platform and just sit this on top of it. And any gaps, I can fill in with kind of trim. However, if you don't have these kind of storage bins and you want to build something, you can create these boxes out of MDF, plywood, whatever you want, just a simple box. And then to make your life a lot easier, grab yourself the MilesCraft drawer jigs. And what they do is they just go on the inside of the cabinet clamped in. You could see a level. And simply just put your drawer slide on top and you'll be able to secure it. This is super easy and efficient to install drawer sights because they're a pain when it comes to alignment. And then grab yourself a Miles Craft hardware installation jig, which this thing has been a lifesaver. When I did the cabinets at my last cabin that I built, it just simply goes on top here. You get the perfect measurements. Drill your holes, put your hardware on. You're in and out. You're not wasting any time. Those will save your butt. In the meantime, let me chop up some uh 2x4s and see how far these steps need to stretch.
