This looks great! How does the plywood skeleton stay together? Did you use screws, or put blocks in the corners? Thanks for showing it.

Greenwait,
The top just sits on the base. They are heavy enough that they don't move at all.

Hey. This is amazing. I am very excited to build it (I changed things up a bit to accomodate two twin beds). How did you get the top and base to stay together?

I'm moving into a new apartment in June... totally going to build this bed for myself, but thinking of adding a headboard, maybe with floating nightstands. Anyone know how to build a floating shelf??

If you do use a circular saw, PLEASE get a plywood blade before cutting into a $90 sheet of plywood. I learned this from experience. Also, cut with the finish side down (consider this when cutting you 45-degree angles). I've also read about using painters tape over your cut line, which works with a drill bit, so I reckon it would work with a circular saw.

No box springs at all. I just used pine slats to span the distance and put the matress on top of them.

Did you recess a box spring into the platform?

Wonderful. I've just added one of these to my project list!

I used screws to hold it all together.
