Makes a wonderful lofted storage area for.urban renters in small spaces
I live in a densely populated city where rents are absurd, so I can only afford to rent a bedroom in a shared apartment. The most recent room I’m renting has no additional storage space in the house. So if I own it, it must go in my bedroom. I spent hours online looking for a sturdy lofted storage system that is free-standing (i.e. renter friendly). I couldn’t find anything close to what I needed. Then I realized that I could use a loft bed for storage, and I ended up going with this one. It works nicely for my needs. I have my bed placed perpendicularly under the loft, and my dresser fits under the loft as well—so there is no wasted space under the loft.
The bed is sturdy enough to hold: large storage bins with out of season clothing, extra linens, extra packaged food items I can’t fit into my food storage area, my bicycle, a light weight guest mattress, a couple of unassembled solid wood end tables, a scanner and a printer I don’t have space to leave out when they’re not being used and various smaller light weight items I need but don’t have a good place for. I id purchase a bunkie board to create a more uniform surface for the items to sit on. I also have several cat beds and a cat cave box for my kitty who loves to jump onto the loft and chill out there.
This loft works well as a storage area and has saved me alot of hassle.
