Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Measure the narrowest under-bed height, bed-frame obstructions, and pull-out clearance on the intended side.
Step 2
Size each box with room for casters, flooring transitions, bedding, and hand clearance; make a labeled cut list.
Step 3
Cut the base, sides, front, and back, then dry-fit and verify the box stays square.
Step 4
Glue and fasten the box with screws short enough not to pierce the panels, then attach casters or glides symmetrically.
Step 5
Sand edges, apply a low-odor finish, and let it cure completely before adding textiles.
Step 6
Load evenly, keep weight below caster ratings, and confirm drawers cannot contact heaters, cords, or the bed mechanism.
Wear eye and hearing protection while cutting. Keep storage clear of electrical cords, heaters, adjustable-bed mechanisms, and required airflow; do not exceed the bed or caster manufacturer’s limits.
