Hello, I love the project and the look but I'm a little conserned whether it's going to be stable enough.. How was your experience? Thanks for the help
I built mine from a dresser I bought from a garage sale for $15, a night stand I bought from Goodwill for $3 and a 3/4" piece of plywood and 3 8' 2x4's. I used the dresser as the foot board the night stand as the corner post, cut one of the 2x4's in half and screwed them to the wall for the framing of the other 2 sides, cut the 2nd 2x4 in half as the center posts under the bed then cut holes in them and used a shower curtain inbetween the center posts to create a Closet under the bed and used the left over wood to build legs to raise the night stand then used the 3rd 2x4 as a brace between the back of the dresser and the night stand and then painted the whole thing Barn Wood Red. Monetarily speaking I have right about $75 into my platform bed and 1/3 of that was for the paint.
June 2016 IKEA issued a recall on the Malm dressers. If anyone chooses to do this make sure you check IKEA's site to match your serial numbers to the listed recalls. Great video though and i'll definitely be trying this with a 2 drawer model as i'm fairly short! :)
is there away to do it.. where you do not have to make a frame.. out of Wood i do not own drills and saws i live in flat and want to do this sort thing but every video i see shows wodden frames being made after..
Can I ask how high your bed is? I am also going to use the ‘malm’ closet from ikea and than put a mattress on top of it but I think my mattress is less thicker, let me know :).
Okay so I have a question. I am still living with my mom, and I've recently switched rooms and let's say it's a total disaster. My bed frame completely broke, and the box springs and so now I have 2 twin box springs and a queen mattress and let me tell you there isn't any room for hardly anything else. But I do want a bedframe and pull some of these things together. How would you suggest that I start on this?
Awesome Job. . . .I'm so glad I continued the hunt for videos on diy storage beds I the exact same dressers purchased and this helped sooo much thank you
The mattress is mainly supported by the 4 by 4 wood blocks? Is that sturdy enough? I saw that the large malm dressers weren't attached to each other at the end, is it safe to say they won't budge/ move even of they are aggressively pushed? If anyone has answers, thanks and great video. I'm highly considering doing this project
+Ajewa Chichester the 4x4 should provide all the support you need and should be very sturdy if made properly. I don't have my dressers attached together so things can move around a bit, but I don't think it's a safety concern and it hasn't been a problem for me. Hope that helps!
This is cool but as a DIY TH-cam channel, I'm pretty sure including the steps is something people would appreciate and expect. For people who are new to doing this kind of thing, I don't think it's very self-explanatory to be honest.
I have a question.
Does it squeak?
I love it!!!
Did it survive any adventurous endeavours?
What bed frame did you use? Can you share the Amazon link?
I have malm and do you have a set up for a twin bed?
I love it Patrick! You talk so well and you are so descriptive. I can really understand what you are doing. Watching you make stuff is a pleasure.
is your bed a king bed? what are the dimensions?

What size bed did you have?
I love this idea! I love the dresser space and the support beams under the bed make it so strong! 👍
I cant find your blog now sadly
Can you share the product’s details, looking to do the same project in my wood there’s no space

about how much did all of this cost?
Wow, cool, $100 off the LEESA mattress!!!! What! :)
Thank You so much
hi, love this, I have some study mdf sheets that I was using as a bed base, do you think it would work instead of using a bed frame?

+zhuzhupet69 right on!

Awesome Job. . . .I'm so glad I continued the hunt for videos on diy storage beds I the exact same dressers purchased and this helped sooo much thank you

Patrick Adair Designs Thank you for the clarification. Great video, much simpler idea than other diy storage beds on here
+Ajewa Chichester thank you!
I would have loved to see more details
That's so awesome, great job. Congrats on all your success. I'm happy for you and excited to watch you grow.
+David Rafferty Thanks David!
Thats a nice job luv it
I would of liked to of seen a better visual of the extra support you cut and put in.
I love the DIY, congratulations
Great content! Liked and subscribed. I love the LEESA bed. Glad they hooked you up.
Imagine rolling off that when you are asleep you’de think you where falling off a cliff
That's actually cool.
Nice one...shame I'm in the UK, sounds like a comfy mattress!
Very good video Patrick! I think you should make more videos about your DIY projects. Your skills are amazing!
+Alexander Ivory-Brown thank you very much Alex, your feedback is really helpful.
what size was your mattress?
Looks like a queen
I may need to come to you for dorm hacks. I'm moving to China for six years in less than a month.
I liked your video, Patrick, but I wish you had shown the dressers open to see how much storage you have.
Is awesome! Great job...
How can I find someone in New York to do this for me lol
More videos like this!
+Nate The Great thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you liked it.
The mattress looks very comfortable. I also like the company's ethics.
Hey can you make some destiny videos, and are you going to play destiny 2?
+Andrew Gibson I'd love to do some gaming videos. But it'll probably have to wait until I make and build up a second channel.
Patrick Adair Designs That will be awesome I can't wait
It's too high
Happyfoo- dee-lishous it could be a little lower yea
Way too high
Cool man

Very little info on hacking the bed. Way to go in getting a free mattress. Lol
You remind me of a young Patrick Bateman.
This bed is so tall it requires saftely approval from local gubmint
Neato
If you want to build it yourself just google for woodprix. I know you will find good solutions for all your ideas.
Someone stole your video .... inspired life channel
