How to build a platform storage bed for under $200

After shopping for a platform bed with storage I was quickly disappointed. Not only were the prices outrageous ranging from $1200 to $1800, but the actual amount of storage space was really minimal compared to the amount of space available under the bed. Fancy drawers or few drawers really ate up a lot of space. Not to mention the fact that I didn't want to spend that kind of money.
For less than $200, a trip to Home Depot and about 4 hours of an afternoon I built this. It probably took about the same amount of time to put together the YouTube video and this page so if this helps you feel free to send a small donation my way.

Can't wait to make this bed! Is it 3/4 ply?

@CurlyJeffy25 Yes, 3/4" poplar or any other smooth plywood like birch or oak.

This is extremely sturdy, and solid. No squeaks or movement of any kind and I'm sure it will hold a lot of weight. We've had 4 adults on the bed watching TV and I would not hesitate to recommend sleeping 2 400lb people on this design.

The box IS the boxspring. There is no need for a boxspring with a platform.
