I was so excited to start the Queen storage bed - but then I had all that lumber and the cuts weren't perfect, and my measuring skills need work, and I don't fit into 12 x 18" spaces, and my vision isn't great to begin with and I certainly can't see into those dark, dark spaces!
But, in the end, I had fun, and the drawers work, the finish turned out well, I still have all my fingers, my bruises are about gone (2 weeks later, for goodness sake!) and, most important, my son and his wife say it looks great, is sturdy, and the drawers work! Whew!
Next month I'm doing the twin sized version for my daughter - and no drawers, yeah!
