Used the Create-a-bed kit from Rockler

Here's a queen size one I finished last year, also using the Rockler
hardware.



I have a job to build that style with that hardware after I get moved into
our new shop/house.
I have already designed the unit with a recess in both of the inner side
shelf panels for a clock, book etc., but....

Is there any thing in particular that I should watch out for? I'l be
building for the same size bed also.



Follow the DVD set up instructions for safety reasons. Also, double
check the header position to make sure of clearance of the bed when
folded up. If you are going to install lighting, remember to route out
the grooves in the back edge of the vertical panels to install the lamp
cord. I didn't put any lighting in the bookcases, but if you do, you'll
probably want glass shelves. I also cut out baseboard shapes on the
bottom back edge of all the uprights rather than cut the baseboard.

I built a couple of 2x4 and ply stock holders to help manage all the
parts - pic attached.

Make sure you have a couple of furniture dollys to move the bed frame as
that sucker is heavy - or I'm getting old.
