Step 2Attach Plywood
Measure the length and width of the bookshelf and buy a piece of plywood (or whatever board you chose, I chose plywood because its strong and sturdy) that is the same size.
Mark on the plywood where you will be drilling. Put two screws in each corner of the plywood and shelf. I measured it out so the screws would be exactly the same distance from the corner and in the middle of the shelf frame (i.e. the thickness of the frame of the shelf and the shelves is 2", so the screw is 1" from the edge )
Drill a starter hole for the screw so the wood doesn't split and the screw goes in easily. Then drill the screws in.
Sorry about my final picture. I took it at a weird angle and thought I would be able to just rotate it 90 degrees, but it didn't look good (or give me a headache) at any angle but this.

You should drill some big holes in the plywood and make sure air flows beneath the bed. Your mattress needs ventilation underneath.
