Why a Lift Top Bed A lift top bed is an easy way to create maximum storage in a bedroom, without the bed appearing complicated with storage drawers or shelves. The storage is not as easy to access as a drawer, but with the assist of the lift top hardware, it is not difficult.

Why I Built This Bed A few years back we built a tiny house and everything inside it. Heres...
