I've been kinda busy lately, what can I say.

The other day, I moved into a new apartment... and realized I didn't have a bed... So I made one.

The frame is made from 2*4's held to 4*4's with 3 inch lag screws.
The "Mattress" Is rope woven between the frame really tight with a rug on top of it to smooth out the bumps.
On top of that I have copious amounts of padding.

All in all, I think a full sized bed, with a mattress and a frame for $70 or so was a Dang good deal.

I also bought a badass desk for $30 delivered.

Is it comfortable?
It looks cool even if it's not that comfortable.

It's not *that* comfortable, I mean, it's a glorified cot... but it's Dang better than sleeping on the floor, and has room for me and my girlfriend on it.

It's also sturdy as *PLAQUE*. It doesn't rock, wobble, squeak, or bump AT ALL. I gingivitus-inviting love lag screws.

Looks pretty good to me. It looks somewhat like a taut hammock.

I think it looks comfy as well. Is it nice on the back?
