I looked and looked. No one manufactures QUEEN sized loft beds. So I made my own. I bought the plans online. The plans were designed by an engineer. The bed is rock solid stable.

The bed was expensive to make. I had to buy:

1) Lumber
2) Two sheets of plywood
3) hardware
4) brand new mattress
5) brand new bedding.

The price is 1 000 000 won, delivery at cost. I am going to Canada at the end of August. I have only had the bed complete for about two months. The mattress and bedding are about 2 months old. Everything for the bed was bought new. The lumber was rather rough wood when I bought it. I sanded it all down and did all the work myself. 1.5 million is a reasonable price for a custom made, all solid wood piece of furniture like this.

I can deliver and set it up for you at cost anywhere in mainland Korea, provided you make a reasonable attempt to meet me in your city. For example, we could meet at city hall or the bus station, somewhere easy to find in almost any city in Korea and then go to you place from there.

The bed is easy to set up and take down as it is held together by bolts. The mattress supports, that support the plywood and the mattress are both glued and bolted. In engineering, redundancy means safety. Furthermore, the plywood and mattress are supported n the mid section of the bed by two steel pipes. (The plans only called for 2"x4"'s, but I made it stronger.)

I have to say, nice work on the bed. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to throw for it. I just wanted to give you some props for your work and hope you sell it soon.
