• Conclusion/ Summary

- Only specific type of wood crates are easier to work with (soft, bright texture/ finished)  

- recycled crates must be clean thoroughly, be on the look out for wood bugs, critters, fleas..

- total budget within RM10 ( a few screws, nails and nut bolts). *excluding the heavy duty tools (saw/ hole drills) A special thank to the workshop technicians in the architecture faculty that allows me to access such equipment.  

- Surface of the foam bed must be clean and smooth from any sharp elements (wood chips and especially nails). Sleeping on a sharp items could be felt by the body psychologically.

- Areas below the bed can be utilized for additional storage for drawings roll and boxes.
