Loft bed with platform

I modified a few things to fit my needs. I did a small ladder instead of steps to save room. I added a 2x4 down the middle with brackets to add extra strength for mattress area. I used my kreg drill bit to make holes for the 2x2 to also help with strength. I am a big guy and the bed was solid so no issues with weight. I added 8 inches to the main post to add height underneath for a doll house, book shelf and some other things my wife wanted under there. Excellent plans and my daughter loves it.
