This is a bed that came out of Gustav Stickley's shop around 1900. I showed my model to a woodworker in the UK who expressed interest in building it but he wanted to put drawers under it. Instead of modifying the design, I thought it would be cool to make a drawer case that hangs from the slats sort of like this:


This way it would be optional and it would be reversible if someone decided they didn't want drawers under the bed later.
 
Nice design and modification, Dave.

Underbed drawers are great space-savers. I designed our master bed and guest bed are basically low cabinets with a platform for a mattress - lots of storage!
