A very simple design for a lightweight bed that will look great in any child’s bedroom. The size is also perfect for young children who are too big for a cot but too small for a full-size bed.

WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY NEXT TIME

Marking out the positions of the base slats (E) with a tape measure proved quite laborious, whereas a spacer would have been much quicker. Simply cut two pieces of wood the same size as the required gap between the slats and use these to position each successive slat as it is clamped in place (see Wendy house, step 20, page 150). It would also be more efficient to fasten each slat in place while it is positioned using the spacers, which avoids the clamping process entirely. As the base is hidden by the mattress, accurate positioning of the slats is not critical, as long as you can build it efficiently and they provide enough support for the sleeping child.
