A full size loft bed with safety rails on all sides and a straight staircase your kid can walk up and down in the dark. No ladder. No climbing. Just stairs with a handrail.

Full size mattress means you build this once. It works for a 9-year-old, a teenager, a college kid home for the summer. The room underneath is wide open -- desk, couch, whatever they need as they grow.

Standard lumber from any hardware store. 3D diagrams walk you through every cut and every screw.

AT A GLANCE

- Finished size: 72" tall x 78 3/4" deep x 104 1/2" wide (with stairs)
- About $350 in lumber
- About 20 hours build time
- Intermediate -- straight cuts and screws for most of the build, one angled cut on the stair stringers

“It is a very well built bed, however it is time consuming! It was larger than we thought so make sure you look closely at its dimensions before building. Our daughter absolutely loves it, so it was worth it. The downfall is if we ever move, I would hate to know that it has to come down!”

These plans are very detailed and easy to read. My only complaint is that they could have saved a lot of wood and about $50 by using 10 foot boards for the 55 inch cuts, thereby getting 2 pieces per board instead of 1. Unfortunately I didn't notice this until after buying all 25 2x6x8 boards.
