    You could have built it. There's nothing I see there that's too hard to do on your own.

    Yeah, this. Build it with your kid, he/she will get a sense of accomplishment as a bonus.

    This is actually a very good idea and should be mandatory right away!

    You could get one now, and... no, i would never get something like these to my kid, way too expensive and its only going to last a couple of years cause they will grow up way too fast and that bed won't be enough for them

    Wait... paying someone to do it for you counts, right?

    I could totally build it, but painting it to look nice would be a problem <.<

    Kids aren't as picky as adults when it comes to things having perfect finishes. Just a plain coat of paint on the wood is good enough for them.

    My only problem with building something like this is I have no garage to build it in, and most of the tools I would have used with my father as a kid are things I don't own. This would be a lot easier to build, for example, with a proper table saw.

    I'm not saying it should look like crap, but for example I think something like this is good enough:

    Now I have to decide between the Batmobile and the Falcon... a true first world problem.

    The Falcon bed looks a bit too much like a crib, anyway.
