[ADVICE REQUEST] DIY loft bed for small studio

I am working on a layout for my new studio appartment. I made a rough 3D sketch of a loft bed with a lot of shelves to store stuff and also place to lay down sitting bags on the ground and watch a movie. This way I can store stuff and have a place to lay down and relax as well. I have not done a ton of DIY but have the base tools and some (over)confidence. I have heard people say it is not a good idea to DIY a bed, but buying a 160x200 loft bed costs 800-1500 euros... But if I use strong wood and the proper pocket screws, will this really be so unstable? Any alternatives are also welcome! Just would suck to throw away my new 160x200 matras and have a smaller bed, but of course a 140x200 ikea loft bed with some extra drawers also works. It just feels less optimal atm submitted by /u/DevDunkStudio [link] [comments]
