This is the Spongebob Square Bed i made for my kid. its a pretty basic loft style bed. because the ceiling is low i could not make bunk beds, so i made the underneath to store toys. the kids have to climb through Spongebobs mouth to get to the steps. i also made Spongebob easy to remove to make it easy to change the sheets, he simply lifts off.

Building the frame...
measure the mattress you are going to use, your framing will want to be about 1" bigger. pre drill with a counter sinking bit, and use wood glue every where you screw wood together. you can see in the photos i screwed wood slats across to support the mattress. i then screwed 2 1x4 together to make the corners [the height will vary with how tall you want it to be]. i then cut the horizontal pieces and decided to make some of them wavey with a jigsaw [as seen in photos]. also fastened the horizontal bottom pieces. i had a set of steps from another bed that i used but a simple ladder would work.

Are you intentionally torturing your offspring? :-)
Somebody had to say it. Nice work, though. Well done.
