BTHFST Full Size Floor Bed, Black

The measurements

These are our published figures for this piece, converted to centimetres alongside. Measure your own space before ordering: 69.2 by 51.5 inches is the floor it needs, and 21.7 inches is how far up it goes.

Published dimensions describe the assembled piece. Packaging is larger, and a doorway or stairwell has to take the box as well as the finished item.

What it takes out of the room

The piece itself takes 24.7 square feet. Nobody uses furniture at its own edge, so plan for the space you stand in: leave two feet clear on each side and this piece asks for about 48.9 square feet.

In a ten by ten room, which is 100 square feet, that leaves roughly 51.1 square feet for everything else. At 21.7 inches tall it sits below most window sills, so it can usually go under one.

Our room fit calculator does this arithmetic for any room size you type in.

What it is made of

Named in this piece's own specification:

• Steel. The load-bearing part, and what lets a frame carry a sleeper without a heavy timber structure.
• Engineered wood. Layered board, used where a panel needs to stay flat.
• Fabric. Drawer boxes and bins rather than structure, so it saves weight where nothing is carried.

This is the material list for this item.

What it holds

3 drawers. The drawer boxes are fabric, which keeps the weight down and lets them come out for cleaning.

Our storage arithmetic works out what a given number of drawers actually swallows, using the published sizes across the range.

Putting it together

It arrives flat and you build it at home. Printed instructions come in the box.

The tools needed are included in the box.

Build time depends on the piece and on the second pair of hands. Our assembly guide covers what the specifications across the range do say.
