But the golden bear had a cute cut out window to peek out from.

Seems like an appropriate time to post my new purchase, built at the weekend. Super king ottoman to replace our old double. Now just need to upgrade the double mattress! The storage is cavernous.

Wait until you stub your toe on the pallets
Well I do this with normal beds anyway so no difference for me!
Technically, yes. But I have spent a weekend modifying, sanding and fitting them together. They're all secured together by brackets and screws on the inside so you can't see them
More info in a thread in the Home sub forum.

Do they not scratch the floor over time with weighed movements, or hve you a soft layer to insulate?

I like it

I bought a pop filter, just because.

We will see. Just pallets on the floor at the minute. The floor is hard wood but not in the best condition so if it does do any damage it won't be noticeable.
I like it

Just buy some feet that screw into the pallets. That will ensure the floor is protected.

I've got quite a bit of material feet you put on wooden furniture for this exact purpose left over from one of our other purchases. May figure something out with that
Nice new bed btw!

Nice. I tip my hat to your dedication. I saved a load of pallets to make a large gate with last week. They were particularly large pallets with really long nails. As soon as I started pulling nails the wood split and it was such a ball ache I said to hell with it and just bought a nice solid gate from a timber merchant... So I appreciate the effort you put in! I'm clearly too lazy.
As for my new bed, after much persuading the GF finally conceded that bigger than a double would be more suitable as I'm broad and over 6ft. King size wasn't much if a step up from double IMO, may as well go the whole hog hey?. For years I've whinged about my legs hanging out and my back suffering.... Little people just don't appreciate do they!?

Haha well I'm only 5ft 7
GF is 5ft not a lot. So a King is plenty for us On the note of the pulling nails yeah it seems to be pot luck. I had to use a pair of heavy duty grips to straighten the nails from underneath then carefully ply the planks of wood out. I don't think pallets were designed to be disassembled
I spent about 15-16 hours in total including modifying the big pallet, sanding and fitting it all together. Quite proud of the end result!
Get the Mrs banged on the pallet bed Phate
lmao, would you like a report of some description?
She gets home tomorrow

Do you have kids? If so cut the pull strap so it is just two pieces as there was some kid who was ****ing about with it, got their head stuck in the loop and the bed worked as a hydraulic assist hanging machine.
