I found this plan after browsing Pinterest for ideas on possibly making a bed for my 2 yr old who had just outgrown his toddler crib. With that, I found this website and the plan for the bed. Instantly, I fell in love with the design, feeling like I was 5 years old all over again. Um, can I just say that this is probably the BEST website on the entire internet??? It's a never-ending candy store for grownups! I haven't built anything with wood since 9th grade shop class. I was a little intimidated at first, but the instructions were very clear and straight forward. I must have read them three times before I read the brag posts three times each, HA! My wife was leaving town for a business trip and I thought this would be the PERFECT surprise for when she got back. And hey, if I messed it up, I figured I could just toss the material and pretend it never happened; no bruised ego if I bombed, complete superhero if it worked out. Win/win. Low and behold, I followed the instructions, took my time, and everything worked out like a dream! This is such a great bed and a great project! As expected, my 4 yr old was CRAZY jealous of the bed, so I built him one as well - I went with a different plan that could accommodate his full size mattress a little better. Again, a no guessing, hassle-free experience using plans from this site. Somehow, I was able to keep this project quiet and my wife was BLOWN away at how well the project turned out. :) One more side note - the Kregg tool is AWESOME! What a great way to easily make pocket holes and beautifully create a project.
