This bed was inspired by the horizontal slat design I incorporated in my recent TV console Build! Instead of cutting a bunch of strips and glueing up a slatted blank, I attached strips onto a 3/4" plywood backer board and it was definitely the way to go. Material isn't cheap right now and this is a great way of utilizing edge banding and plywood for a premium look! Thanks for watching!

MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.
