Let me introduce myself. I’m a participant in
i Cook’s Talk,
down the hall to the left. We just bought a 102 year old house. Needless to say, the staircase was not designed to accommodate some of the larger furniture now available. We’re presently sleeping on a queensize mattress on the floor.

My request is for plans for a platform bed that…

a) You don’t have to be Norm Abrams to put together…and

b) Can be disassembled to fit down a narrow staircase if necessary

Length of planks doesn’t seem to be a problem, it’s the width. For instance, out of two 60 year old pieces of cherry mahogany furniture we have, the l-o-n-g dresser would fit up the stairs but the
w-i-d-e chest would not. (It has now become a place to store china and towels, downstairs.)

If anyone has plans for a platform bed that fits this description, or can direct me to a place where I can get them, please either e-mail me ([email protected]) or post here. TIA.
