Abstract

A space-conscious, functional design for a loft bed. The design serves to optimize space by incorporating multi-functional features, such as drawers, closet space, or cabinet space, within the assembly for the bed itself. Specifically, a plurality of steps are substantially parallel to the length of the bed, and lead upwardly toward the foot of the bed for easy access to same. Such steps incorporate the aforementioned storage space, with access to the drawers or closets from a side position. As such, the unique assembly allows for a desk, computer work station, bar, or additional wide storage space below the bed and behind the steps, adding to the overall versatility of the assembly. Finally, in the preferred mode the unit is modular in nature and may be assembled and rearranged based upon user preference.
