Hi all,

For those with HDB ceiling height of 2.5metre and wants a loft bed, read on.

I bought a second-hand IKEA STORA Loft Bed + IKEA SULTAN HUGLO for my HDB flat with 255-256 cm ceiling height from floor base. The prerequisite for the bed is 2.7metre ceiling, slicing 14.5-15.0 cm off the legs will make this bed more than alright for a typical HDB flat. by reducing the height of the bed it makes STORA height requirement 255cm . I am 178cm and weight around 69kg. I have no problems sitting upright on top. There’s more than enough height space for myself to sit under the bed to use the area as a workstation.

There's two things you need your workshop to do for you, it cost $40 for these to be done.

- Slice 14.5cm on the 4-legs holding the bed

- Slice 14.5cm and 10-15 degrees on the ladder base to reduce the original height shorter. Ask your carpenter to do the angle measurement again, I don't have a protractor here.

I got my carpentry done at BIDEAS Production, look for Leah Chuah. I used her printing, banner services previously.

I also hired a transport Benny from HungryBox (find on Google/Gumtree). He charges $50 for per trip from origin to destination address, this is on the higher side of price compared to others who charges $30 only.

Some comments,

- Installation of the bed is not hard for myself and my girlfriend of 142cm.

- I installed the ladder on the sides of the bed to create more spaces for my room.

- Use a spirit level (balancer) if you are worried whether the bed is upright. Then add more rubber pads below the legs to make it straighter.

If you want pictures of the loft bed contact the blog owner.
