Day 3 of Summer Vacation

The Loft Kits you get at the DIYS Stores are deathtraps.  Design for a college dorm the kits use the least amount of wood possible and are shaky as hell.   I promised Technotaz and Technowiz that i would build some lofts for them to take back to college.

As you can see they are a little longer than the standard twin bed, but that leaves room for the typical college dorm room mattress which is 6 inches (15 cm) longer.  The Loft are even longer than that to provided space for a Futon/Sofa underneath.  The extra space also provides some room for a night stand type space.

I always like working with wood.  These thing are solid and will last long past the kids college days. The lofts supply were cheaper than buying the kits.
