TOOLS
Instructions
STEP 1
(https://www.ana-white.com/sites/default/files/2019-
08/king%20diy%20storage%20bed%20easy%20to%20build%20pottery%20barn%20stratton%20di erences.jpg)
This bed is made up of three benches.
The two side benches are identical to the queen bed. Follow the instructions in the queen bed
(https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/classic-storage-bed-queen) to build two side
benches. Add the cleats for the mattress slats to the backs of the side benches.
The end bench for the king only di ers in overall length from the queen. The steps are listed below for
your convenience.
STEP 2
08/king%20diy%20storage%20bed%20easy%20to%20build%20pottery%20barn%20stratton%20step%201.jpg)
Build the end bench with 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws. Three screws per joint is
su icient.
STEP 3
Attach back with 3/4" brad nails and glue.
STEP 4
Build the face frame first with 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.
Nail completed face frame to front of bench with 1-1/4" brad nails.
STEP 5
Build the end bench trim face frame first with 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.
Attach with 1-1/4" brad nails to sides of end bench.
STEP 6
Assemble the three benches in the room. You can screw benches together if necessary.
Cut scrap plywood pieces to fit in cavity and screw to slats on backs of side benches.
STEP 7
OPTIONAL DRAWERS:
Drawers are optional.
Draw a line on 1x4s, 1" up from bottom edge of 1x4.
Attach drawer slides to the 1x4, with front edge of drawer slide cabinet member flush with front edge of
1x4.
The holes in the center of the drawer slide should line up with your pencil mark, 1" up from bottom edge
of 1x4 - so you know your slides are being installed level.
Remember that the opposing drawer slide needs to be installed in mirror.
Set the 1x4s inside the cubbies and nail to the sides of the cubbies with 1-1/4" brad nails. The front edge
should be lined up with the front edge of your plywood carcasses.
STEP 8
Build drawer boxes to fit drawer slide width. Measure the distance between the 1x4s, subtract the drawer
slide clearances (usually 1" for 1/2" on each drawer slide) and build drawers to this size.
If your opening is true - 35-3/8" - AND your drawer slides require 1/2" clearance (1" overall) AND your
drawer box material is 3/4" thick, you can follow the dimensions shown.
STEP 9
Install drawers into the slides.
Cut 1x12 faces and adjust to fit. You may need to sand down edges for a perfect fit, or cut drawer faces
down with a table saw. There should be an even gap around all edges, about 1/8" on all sides.
