As mentioned, really satisfied. But it took a few hours in both the lathe and milling machine. And not least in front of the design software.
Now I've started designing a shoe rack and hat shelf.
Also made holders for the toothbrushes. Not a big deal, but turned out great.

And if anyone wants to take a closer look at the beds, that's completely fine. And if I can answer any questions, if there are any, I'm happy to do so.

Have slept in bunk beds many times, mostly with good experiences, including during the time when one did "lumpen" in their youth.
But it hasn't always ended well
I remember one time at a company event, where we stayed four people in a room with two bunk beds.
I ended up in a top bunk, and needed to, well, you know what, in the middle of the night.
Sat up, swung my legs down and then, bump, the floor was a meter lower.
Not a pleasant wake-up, I can assure you
So the suggestion is: avoid bunk beds!
We have them in the summer house, but the top bunks aren't used, other than for suitcases and boxes.
The bed is made of 25*25 pipes. 2mm thickness. Weighs very little. And is extremely rigid. Doesn't flex or sway at all. Simply smartly built
And how does it affect personal safety?Alexander Kraft said:The bed is made of 25*25 tubes, 2mm material. Weighs very little. And is extremely rigid. Doesn't flex or sway at all. Simply smartly built
certainly life-threatening
Tell me what wall material you have so I can give better suggestions.
I built some loft beds in the 80s, and the best one was foldable with gas springs from the scrapyard.

In every charter sailboat, there are bunk beds. No problem at all. But sure, climbing out and going to pee in the middle of the night can be a bit annoying.
No, no problem for the skipper, because the bunk beds are in the fore cabin, where hired crew and other less important people sleep. Not in the aft cabins, where the skipper and owners bunk.Thomas_Blekinge said:

Looks nice...might be a bit of a problem for many to handle steel tubes though - requires a different set of tools and skillset ?Alexander Kraft said:The bed is made of 25*25 tubes. 2mm material. Weighs very little. And is extremely rigid. No flexing or swaying at all. Simply smartly built

It's just a matter of habit... if you build a bed that you can't get out of directly either (e.g. ladder at the foot end/half long side only) then the risk of mistakes is significantly reducedKnockOnWood said:Just experiences (and maybe a suggestion):

It's a matter of habit. As a student, I lived in a loft bed for several years, but we had a ceiling height of 3.80 meters. The bed was about 2x2 meters.
