When my little girl grew out of her cot we didn't want to take up too much space with a full size single bed, so I designed and built the bed shown in the photos here.

She just loved her little bed, and 3 years later her little brother needed it, so she moved up to a bunk bed.

I'm guessing there are others who'd like one of these solid little beds to outlast all their kids, and pass on to the next generation, so I'm building these to order, please allow 7 - 10 days for construction.

These beds are very solid, (6x2 frame and 4x4 posts) easily handling loads of up to 160 kg, nothing like the cheap imported beds made of flimsy particle board or "borrowed" rainforest wood.

The beds are made from new untreated NZ pine wood, oiled with Linseed (flaxseed) oil, and the slats are firm. There are air gaps between the slats so the mattress can breathe and won't accumulate moisture. There are 4 bolts in each end so the head and foot can be easily removed for storage or shifting, giving you 3 easy-to-handle pieces.

From a smokefree home and workshop.

Price here is below my cost to make, and includes GST and Trademe fees.

Dimensions:

Total length: 1415mm, Height: 635mm Takes a firm-sided mattress up to 1240mm long and 660mm wide, or soft foam mattress up to 1280 long. There is 245 mm height of storage under the bed.

If you don't happen to have a kids' mattress around, you can easily unstitch a single foam mattress, remove the cloth covering, and cut it to size. Mattress not included.

Delivery:

Please ask about delivery costs and times before bidding. Pickup is in Upper Moutere, Tasman.

If you'd like a side rail added as in the last photo, the price will increase by $50.
