That's massive and not going anywhere. Really like the way it turned out. For me, the only thing that I would change would be to hide the power strips a little better than under the bottom shelf. - Chris
Very true! I was originally going to hid the power strip behind the bed frame, but wanted easy access as we pull our chargers all the time. Maybe I’ll move them eventually.
@@EricksonWoodworking I would just incorporate a sliding hidden front or something else easily hidden. With it being under the shelf. Maybe hinged. Idk. Just a minor detail to a great project
Love the floating bed with shelves and the voice activated lights really accents it. I plan on making something similar although have two questions: 1) what were the dimensions of the bottom platform, and 2) did you have to screw headrest to studs so bed doesn’t tip when sitting on side or ‘riding’ the ends? Great work as always.
Thanks! The dimensions of the bottom platform were made of 2x10s, giving me the height for the bed frame off the ground. Overall, it measured 59"x34" with the bed frame spanning 79"x74", giving me an overhang of 20" around the entire bed. I literally have to get on my hands and knees and look under to see the bottom platform supports. It gives it a really cool effect. For securing, I put 2x4s on the backside of the headboard, center spaced to the wall studs. I anchored the entire headboard along the wall studs, then secured the bedframe and platform to the headboard 2x4's. This gave me a lot of strength through the entire frame and tied everything together. Those dimensions should be based on your bed size though, this was a Cali King, so everything was larger than most. Good luck with the future build!!
@@EricksonWoodworking , thanks for that great explanation. I’m only doing queen size, so guess I’ll have to compensate for the smaller size equivalent.
you had me at walnut. It looks great.
Your Dad would be so proud of you, Master Craftsmanships you become! It’s extremely impressive and absolutely beautiful work of art.
I hope so too!

Me too. But you have to admit lighting really makes the floating bed awesome

Looks cool, add skirting to the bottom shelves to hide the ugly plugs. it really distracts from all the beautiful wood.
