- Things you will need,
3 nordli 4 drawers
Screwdriver
Optional
Brad nailer
Wood glue
I would recommend the brad nailer and glue, it feels a lot more sturdier and the joints on the whole build will last longer. Thanks or watching
If you don't have an Ikea near you amazon has them. More expensive but you don't have to worry about driving and getting them. It will go right to your door.

One of the best ideas I have seen this far.
That looks nice ! You gave me a good idea, I was looking to buy a queen bed frame with drawers but they’re very expensive.
We just bought the Nordli bed, I wish i would've seen this before. I would have loved more drawers!
Would love to hear an update on this, how is it holding and what are the measurements of the frame in the middle thanks a bunch.
Plan on doing this very soon since we live in a apartment will save us so much space.
To work out the measurements for the frame just look at the dimensions for the drawer units.
I’m just making these numbers up but let’s say the units are:
1600mm wide, 600mm deep, 700mm high.
You’d have one unit running right along the end width of the bed so the total width of the bed would be 1600mm.
You’d have the length of a unit behind the end unit, so that would be the depth of the end unit plus the width of the side unit. That would be 600mm + 1600mm, so the total length of the bed would be 2200mm.
With that in mind you just need to work out the empty space between the 2 side units. The end unit is 1600mm wide, the 2 units behind that are 600mm deep so that’s a total of 1200mm. That tells us the width of the frame would have to be 400mm and the length would of course be 1600mm as it’s the same length as the 2 side units. The finished height of the frame would have to be 700mm as it would be the same height as the units.
The only thing you’d have to keep in mind would be the thickness of the timber you use for the slats. If the timber was 20mm thick then you’d build the main body of the frame at 680mm high, then with the slats on top that would bring it to 700mm and flush with the top of the drawer units. Keep in mind the measurements I used are not likely to be the same as the units he used here, but that’s how you could easily work out the side of the frame before buying the drawer units. Just check ikea for the dimensions.
@@iamuglypeople in reality it's 47cm, so the middle of bed frame is 160cm -2*47cm=66cm, I am working on it now that's why I know;)
@@mimi01949 thanks for the heads up. As I mentioned, I just made the drawer unit dimensions up to give an example of how to work it out. But I did just notice a typo in my comment.

😂
Great Job! Looks beautiful
Wow 😮 great 👍 job. We really need to build this. Can you show how you built the center section? We have an old sleep number bed and that is where we would put the pump. Thank you for sharing your wonderful idea 💡
I REALLY LIKE THE SIDE NITE STANDS
Wanda Torres I have a separate video showing how I made them :)
this is brillian, but...does the bed stay still? not moving out?
Since this built no movement even with rated r activity! The actual front cabinet is not fixed to you can freely move it to store items underneath.
Looks fantastic
What a fun Dad
I am all for storage under a bed but just bought a otterman bed instead, strong bottom on it and easy to access the storage.
Thank you for this idea, you've given me way more storage space now😁👍🏻
I’m glad it helped, and to shine a tad bit of light. I have decommissioned the bed and now turned into a full size bed with out the other side. We recently moved and now had more space so we donated this version to our daughters. Plus you get another 4 drawers for my son! Your welcome
@@toolstech9630ou know if you will ever get a chance to post the video or any info about the center piece measurements and construction? Been a number of years I know but I keep coming back hoping to find something as I have been planing a full remodel for a while. Ordering the pieces in the next couple weeks so any help is appreciated. Cheers.
@@VinnyVonPapier I will try and find time. Or dm me!
@@toolstech9630I couldn’t find a way to DM you. I finally got all the items yesterday after being sold out forever. I also have Brad nailer etc. I would love to find out your center piece sizing,assembly, supplies info as well as any suggestions for placement, nail size and application for the Brad nailer if possible. Thanks. I am stoked to finally be able to do this. Cheers.
@@toolstech9630got the Mil 18g Brad nailer just wondering what length you would recommend?
Any other suggestions for placement or center piece construction also appreciated if you can. Thanks again @toolstech9630
Hi, I would love to try this! Do you have instructions/measurements/materials needed for the piece in the middle that you built? You left out the most important part :)
A piece of 3/4 inch plywood is my plan smooth six ply Birch cut about one inch smaller on all sides and screw in 1/2 inch fairing strips around the edges just in from the edge of the mattress just out of sight so you won't see them that way the mattress can't move around but it still looks pro quality
Do you have the dimensions for the middle part?
Looks good
Can you advice on the modifications needed to be made for king size bed?
Buy a additional nordli 2 drawer that is 15 3/4" wide and add it to the base to give you more width
Actually u could use book shelves and some really nice basket or simply build a the rest to store ur things in.
@Tools&Tech what are the measurements for the inside of the bed. You never posted it. I want to do this.
i wish you would have showed how you built the piece in the middle
Stephanie Garcia I will take measurements and upload them, 😐
ToolTech awesome! I showed my husband last night and we want to try it out. The middle piece is the only part we could t figure out. Neither one of us are very handy but we're willing to try
Dimensions on the middle piece?
What would I have to do for a full size mattress do I get 3 two dressers
same for me!!! I'm away and challenged him to make it happen before I'm back lol. we definitely need all the storage space we can get
I live in Canada and the Noelia drawers are $419 each!
Then this wouldn’t be a good fit
Great idea
How do the glued in pieces separate when it's time to move houses?
Plenty of ways to remove glue
I love this, but how many would I need for a California king bed? The measurements are 72 inches wide and 84 inches long... because I need the drawers...
Is the middle part that supports the planks on top made up of: 4 2x4 wood planks with 5/4th wood planks on top???
What are the lengths for the supports and length for the top planks?
Did you ever give the dimensions for the middle support thing you made?
Promise last 2 questions .... I noticed this was uploaded in 2017, how long did it last? Can you please do an update?
Thank you!
Diana S Ramirez yes mam it’s still going strong. They are 2x4. No slats in between. I’ll upload a video on Saturday hopefully. We are a family of 7. So very busy! 3 kids 2 dogs wife and me. Time is short, but I’ll try on Saturday.
@@toolstech9630 I understand, it sounds like a busy household lol but an update soon would be awesome and very much appreciated! 😁👍🏼
I was looking into purchasing a queen size bed w. Storage but none compare to this. Great job!
Those cabinets are all partical board is it strong? Does it hold up well after long term use?
Although it is particle board, I have to say that ikea furniture is surprisingly sturdy.
The bed looks great. Should have replaced that carpet at the same time.
Nice job!
What color paint is in that room? I like how it contrasts with everything.
Do you store anything in the dead space under the custom part in the middle?
Love this. Did it hold ok?
How has this held up over the years? Any constant shifting or cracking of the furniture due to load?
None at all, it is still standing strong. A couple drawer fronts replaced but that’s about it. Never has shifted, never has cracked.
Really interesting, looks a bit too high for me, I like being closer to the ground but you sure do got a lot of storage now
Anybody tried this on a Kingsize bed? (180 x 200)
Please let me know.. I can’t find the right cabinets
Length is the same as the video width just buy the same nordli 2 drawer that is 15 3/4" wide and add to the base gives you the king size width.
Cali king ideas thank you!
Can I please get measurements for a king size some help me please
Did you use any brackets to attach each dresser together other than what you use to set the mattress on?
Amazing 😍
How can u do this for a twin size bed ? Please
Get measurements for Nordli. A twin is 39"×75". Go from there. Easy.
What about just stacking 2 NORDLI bed frames on top of each other?
Then you don’t get the storage inside the bed. I simply slide the front one outta the way and boom 💥 more storage! Plus that configuration only gives you I think 6 drawers. This gives you 12
Just wondering why you didn't just get 2 (8 square) and 2 (2 square) cubes shelves they're thicker wood and would've came out cheaper and safer. The Ikea wood is thin and cheap.
It would sit to high, and be less safe if you are worried about safety. The dressers are made to hold a lot of weight. It’s 5 years strong with no signs of it giving out.
How is it holding up?
It’s held up well, we have finally moved into our home and repurposed 1 of the 4 drawers for a regular dresser. But used the other sides for our daughters bedroom. Those are still holding up.
This was such a great inspiration. We also used Nordli and Brimnes for the Headboard and have 18 drawers.
Now we have our very own #ikeahack Platform bed. Here is how it looks like:

I was looking to do this but a 4 drawer Nordli costs CAD $299! lol Nordli King Bed and headboard is $560... so yeah
mochi_yuki idk 😐 were you are buying the nordli dresser from. 219 a piece. You need 3 so 660. Nordli king is 560 with only 6 drawers. My queen gives you 12 drawers. Double the storage for 100 dollars more is a win for me.
Hi, looking to do about the same.
Been reading comment many people asked how it goes after a longer period, saw the drawer incident, but not much about if it's making any noise when you move around?
Still like your setup or would you have done something different with current experience?
Thanks.
It lasted us 4 years, and I ended up taking them apart because we finally got a house. So we repurposed the bed for drawers for clothes. Verdict on the bed, it was the best thing I ever did when sharing 1 bedroom with 4. No noises and after 4 years it was still rated for rated R action. All drawers lasted except 2. That’s becAuse I didn’t use all the hardware when building the drawers. Since the nordli dresser is still available, you can buy just replacement drawers. All in all it’s a great build.
Thanks
Can this work for a twin? Anyone done it?
I dont know if it's possible to also use the space in the middle if can use like a bed slat on top
Lef yes we use the space under the bed as storage.
@@toolstech9630 ok thanks but I mean thinking to skip what you did in the mis and just put a bed slat on top the furniture just need an idea to fasten it on it
Instrumental @2:33 name
What did you use for the inside?
Sir! How do you keep the bed from moving? 🤔
It really doesn’t move at all. Never had issues with it shifting.
Hey how you doing do I have to nail any of the wood to the wall or the floor
Rub Lee no nailing to the floor or nail each other.
Question can it withstand a lot of weight I’m on the heavy side and so is my bf and we would love to build one of these but I’m afraid of it breaking on us after build g
I am 190 and wife is 180. It with stood us perfectly fine. Plus our kids would always go and lay down with us at night…. In all honesty, it should be able to handle more weight than slated beds. Because each drawer dresser is built on its own and able to support a lot of weight. The nordli bed can withstand 550lb. That’s not the limit meaning it can with stand more. The one I build here is built a lot sturdier. I would assume 600lbs
@@toolstech9630 ok great thanks so much !!!
Cool idea, and it looks nice.... not super cheap though... at 175 it's 525 before tax.
bobbyb900 agreed, but debatable! For the storage inside the bed and 12 drawers. It’s worth it! I still have this lol it’s survived with no skeeks lol
@@toolstech9630 yeah, no doubt it's a good set up, practical and sharp looking... good value. I was looking at this and these open storage wood things from walmart... there are videos on it. About 3 bills but not as nice for sure.
how much did this cost???
@ToolTech how has the bed held up since??? I'm So grateful to have found this video btw!
Susanna .B.
Holding up great 👍🏼
It’s still holding on great. No squeaks or hard to open drawers.
What do you for the middle part @ToolTech ??
Instead of glue maybe brackets ?
How is the bed
The bed still works, we have since given it to our daughters and it’s till going strong.
Think the Nordmela dresser can carry that much weight the Nordli drawers are all out of stock
What are the side tables your using?
Lucchini Rodriguez
The floating night stands?? I have a separate video of what they are :)
Tools&Tech and now I have to go look for that!
Well it’s actually a long Ikea shelve that I cut into lengths that I wanted. The side brackets that hold the cut shelves are from ikea as well.
Hi! I was curious if this bed still worked out for you since this is an old video! Did the dressers ever fall apart or anything like that?
Alexis Acosta the bed is still going strong. Did have to replace one drawer unit. Reason it was where we keep diapers and it was the main one we used. Plus our daughters as well abused the drawer while getting diapers for us. This was about a month ago. So yes it’s still holding up.
Tools&Tech ok awesome! I’m thinking of doing this myself and just wanted to make sure the 200 $ drawers were worth it lol thank you so so so much!
Just finished building my own version of this. I must say i am very pleased. Definately worth the investment.
We also used Nordli and Brimnes Headboard, here is how it looks like, if you are curious.

Hey Tool Tech, interested in knowing how you got the framing please share thank you in advance
Sorry I haven’t reached out to you. But I’ll be doing a separate video on how to make it. And for a update on the bed it is holding Strong’s
Have you created the separate video on how to make it yet?
3 of these dressers is 33% more expensive than the regular queen nordli storage bed.
Max Power no doubt about it. I bout the nordli set when they were 179.99. With this configuration you get 70% more storage. You get 12 drawers plus storage in the middle of the bed.
Song?
Doesn’t the mattress slide off sometimes?
Hilario Penaloza I wouldn’t say slide off but shift yes. It’s very minimal!
Tools&Tech sweet, I’m thinking of doing this
Hilario Penaloza its still going strong, even with kids after 3 years it’s going well. It can withstand rated R activity! Only had to repair 1 drawer!
Tools&Tech Any plan to release dimensions/instructions for center piece? Lots of folks hoping for this. Even something minimal would be awesome. Thanks for the vid.
Do you bump into the corners much? I have corners like yours and its easy to bump into one going round the bed. It might depend on how much space you have at the bottom of the bed.
BuddyBontheNet we added bumpers for our kids.
@@toolstech9630 That's a great idea and thanks such a quick reply! I don't have kids and never thought of something like that.
No worries. Our bed is still going strong after all this time. Almost 2 years. One drawer did break but that’s because it where our diapers, wipes, and all the essentials to changing a baby. My wife was always hulking open. Causing the rail to fail. But I just went to ikea and bought just the drawer. Already installed and good to go.
The package for the drawer is separate from all the other stuff. So you can actually buy extra drawers for future use.
i think its fuckin genius
What size bed is that?
GodsAmazingCreaturez
Queen size bed
it's much more expensive to make this than to just by an ikea platform storage bed.
justpassingthroughthistime
I agree but I also disagree!
I thought about buying the platform bed. But non came with 12 dreamers like I wanted. So you get more space if you go my route. Plus I bought the nordli when they where on sale.
justpassingthroughthistime I am going to configure the kullen drawers and use 2 (6 drawers) and 3(3 drawers) and it’s about half the price just for the drawers and you get 9 more drawers, as they are over 200 for these ones. it’s just going to be a little higher than these drawers.
Victoria Kremer how did that end up working for you? I will be making a platform storage bed this month and like the idea of more drawers 😆
KathrynDeniceNov09 I haven’t gotten the dressers yet because of Christmas but it’s only 380 for the 5 dressers vs the almost 600 for the ones he uses because they aren’t on sale right now
@@victoriatroff9209 did you try that yet? Sounds great, I wonder how it would work out.
There is no point in doing that, because IKEA has already a NORDLI bed with storage place and it comes cheaper than buying drawers and DIY. Probably 2 years ago there wasn't such a thing and IKEA must have gotten the idea from this video. If so , thumbs up for the maker of this video, otherwise think twice before doing that
Fotis K yes they do make a Nordli platform bed with I think 4-6 drawers? This mod gives you 12 large drawers, I actually drew my conclusion from the Nordli bed. It was already out when I went to buy the drawers. I thought to my self, buying the Nordli bed would be easier. But not enough storage. So in my configuration, fits me best. Also in the future this won’t be a bed, me and my wife will grow out of it and use the drawers for many different things. So multi purpose and future proof. Pros and cons but I understand where you come from. BTW the bed still going strong 💪
There are many similar projects in Woodprix's plans.
These drawers are actually discontinued.
Johnathan Santoni not here in the USA! They are the Nordli series.
no they are there on ikea! i saw it last night after watching this video
