Here's our bed:
Despite all efforts at ventilation and painting of parts with anti-mold paint, it's just too humid in the drawers, and we get mold there. So I'm giving up, and replacing the drawers with a simple open frame.
This is what the platform looks like under the mattress:
My plan is to replace the drawer frame with a post and rail assembly of the same dimensions, like this (side view and top view):
Does that design seem reasonable? Should I use 2x6s or would 2x4s suffice? What type of wood/quality do you recommend?
Thanks!
