can i put furniture under my bed to make it like a loft bed? Will it hold the weight of the bed. I have too much stuff in my room and want to save space. Can anyone help.
=== get a welder to make you a frame to raise the bed up to a height that will allow room for you to sit at your desk and do school work or use your L-top --- the biggest piece of furniture is your desk and the welder can also arrange a step ladder at one
You have to make a secure box for the bed, cable it to the joists in the ceiling. One way to make sure you get the joists and to spread the weight out would be to use a frame on the ceiling lag bolted to all the joists it covers and cable the bed to the frame. Unless you use cross bracing, the bed will swing if you use cables. Thick metal rods could minimize the swinging. Use bed slats in the box to hold your mattress as you won't have a mattress base, Ikea sells some reasonable bed slats. There's one furniture designer that uses large permanent magnets and a restraining thin cable to levitate a bed. Have you thought about a bunk bed frame? They have some that just lift the bed and leaves you with space underneath. You could also make a Murphy bed.
move your bed into the space under the roof (commonly known as the loft) and you have an instant loft bed
