A Futon Base Project Idea with Drawers
Hey, you want a futon that’s as comfortable as your bed but with a drawer for your extra linens, don’t you? Of course, you do.
Here’s how to DIY a custom futon base.
- Start by cutting the pieces to size, and then join two legs with top rails and bottom rails with fillers.
- After that, cover the sides with plywood.
- Repeat this step for the other side.
- Next, attach a rail to the tops of each side and join them. Don’t forget to add vertical and horizontal center supports for extra strength.
- Attach two rails to each bottom leg, then add the drawer slides and drawers.
- Finish it off by installing some sweet hardware, lower the futon, and you’re ready to lounge in style.
