The bed is for my wife's neice and is an adaptation of a picture from a Pottery Barn catalog. I'd like some opinions on the structural design, joinery and any assembly issues if possible. Thanks in advance.
View of the assembled bed.
View with the headboard, footboard, and top hidden. My thoughts are to pocket screw the top rails to the sides from above (covered with the top) and the bottom to the sides from underneath (hidden). The head/footboards will attach to the sides with standard, slide-down bed hardware. The center plywood beam is continuous (dadoed into the base plywood) and the cubby separators slide down into rabbeted center and base and screwed from above (hidden).
