Make it yourself: Scaffold loft bed, cheap and easy do it yourself construction.
All materials to make this loft bed were previously used as scaffolding.
You can obviously also buy these materials in any hardware store.
The seats and side tables on these pictures above are really easy to make.
You will only need one board to make a stool which can also be used as a side table.
Assembly of those wooden stools does not even take a full hour.
Tip >> Try to use reclaimed wood instead of new boards.
The old weathered planks look a lot better.
Specially if you treat them with a wood stain or white wash finishing method.
