The underbed drawers relinquished so much more space in our room and helped us immensely organize our stuff. We condensed our dresser, armoire, shoe boxes, bags, yoga mats, linens, towels, and books all under our bed. It's graduated our vibe in the room to a whole new level.

The pictures don't show it, but I made the bed frame from two main separate pieces (So I could take it apart and carry it through a door frame). I could've made the bed frame from 4 separate modular pieces, but that will be for next time. =)
