2008/11/02 Bob Le - Twin-sized Platform Bed

Go back to Bob Le's main page.

Twin-sized bed frame made out of teak (leg posts), cherry (rails, top), and cocobolo (pins). I wanted a platform that can be used with a thick box-spring mattress, a thin futon mattress, or even as is with the hard cherry top. The dimension is 75"x39".
