Beds: Nine Outstanding Projects by One of America's Best Review: Great book for the woodworker looking to make a bed - I have built guitars but never a bed. When my wife and I were looking for a new bed for our daughter I volunteered to make a nice bed for less than the cost of cheaply made china bed, but before we purchased one plank of lumber I bought this book for my tablet. I didn't use any of the bed plans within the book but I was able to understand the construction of the most popular styles of wooden beds so that I didn't have to reinvent the process of building one. I found the sizing and side rail fastening parts to be the most useful as well as the slat info. I made an ambitious sleigh bed which took me 6 months to complete but ultimately I was very well built and I enjoyed the build. I recommend the Beds for anyone looking for ideas and more importantly guidance. Review: A very good book for first time bed maker - I am in the process of finishing up the bed shown on the cover of this book. It is the first bed and biggest project I have ever made since I have a samll shop and limited tools. It turns out beautifully that even surprises myself. Jeff Miller gives detailed instructions, design and material list that makes the project a easy task. I happen to have a mortise machine that makes the mortises for the slats much easier and nicer. Also, after I visited a local store, I easily changed dimensions of the bed to suit personal taste. I really enjoyed making this bed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,061,916 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #119 in Home Furniture #1,158 in Woodworking Projects (Books) #1,480 in Do-It-Yourself Home Improvement (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (98) | | Dimensions | 9 x 0.44 x 11 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1561582549 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1561582549 | | Item Weight | 1.45 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 1999 | | Publisher | The Taunton Press | ## Images ![Beds: Nine Outstanding Projects by One of America's Best - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OPibf7BPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for the woodworker looking to make a bed *by M***S on May 20, 2013* I have built guitars but never a bed. When my wife and I were looking for a new bed for our daughter I volunteered to make a nice bed for less than the cost of cheaply made china bed, but before we purchased one plank of lumber I bought this book for my tablet. I didn't use any of the bed plans within the book but I was able to understand the construction of the most popular styles of wooden beds so that I didn't have to reinvent the process of building one. I found the sizing and side rail fastening parts to be the most useful as well as the slat info. I made an ambitious sleigh bed which took me 6 months to complete but ultimately I was very well built and I enjoyed the build. I recommend the Beds for anyone looking for ideas and more importantly guidance. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very good book for first time bed maker *by C***G on April 5, 2000* I am in the process of finishing up the bed shown on the cover of this book. It is the first bed and biggest project I have ever made since I have a samll shop and limited tools. It turns out beautifully that even surprises myself. Jeff Miller gives detailed instructions, design and material list that makes the project a easy task. I happen to have a mortise machine that makes the mortises for the slats much easier and nicer. Also, after I visited a local store, I easily changed dimensions of the bed to suit personal taste. I really enjoyed making this bed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book (beginners will need others too) *by O***R on January 23, 2012* I bought this a few weeks ago and am working on building one of the designs in it. If terms and tools like router table, stacked dado blade, rabbit, mortise, tenon, "mill up a board," or "glue up a plank" are already in your shop and lexicon, then you need no other book but this to make some really outstanding beds. If not, do what I did and buy some basic woodworking books as well. I have done a lot of basic carpentry such as building sheds, decks, railings and whatnot for decades, but, other than some refinishing now and then, not indoor furniture-class work. With that background I found I was stumped at a fair number of terms or bits of advice that, I assume, experienced furniture makers are entirely familiar with. That said, I am hard at work on one of the more unique designs in the book and thrilled at the quality of design and instruction (though in my case supplemented with other, more basic books). However, even with the above caveat unaddressed, I would still give the book a fifth star if it had the following: 1) More specific suggestion for how to scale up dimensions for the thicker mattresses and box springs on the market today (the bed design I am working with assumes a 6 to 8 inch thick mattress, which is very thin for the mattresses, much less even a low profile box spring as well, of the type one might be inclined to buy for such a nice bed in the first place). So I am left with guessing how best to hide more than 10 inches of additional mattress and box spring height in an appealing manner (e.g., how much should I attempt to gain by making taller posts, versus lowering the rails, versus gluing up a wider headboard plank, versus higher placement of a same-size plank -- I'd love an expert's suggestion rather than my own poor guess at what solutions will still be pleasing to eye). 2) With all the author's expertise, I'd love some basic suggestions on types of wood beyond the observation that maple is good for slats on wider beds. 3) Include a list of basic shop tools one will need (or prefer to have). 4) Give a few references for neophytes about good books on where one can learn some basic skills that are assumed. If you already have a full shop set up, you can make a beautiful bed very inexpensively with this book. If you are missing some of the more expensive tools needed, as I was, you can still make a bed for about the cost of buying a quality one already made, but yours will likely be better made and, when you are done, you'll have more shop machinery and skills for future projects as well. Overall, if you are already skilled in furniture making, or simply ready to take the next step to developing that skill, this seems like a great set of instructions with a range of elegant designs to choose from. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/1797977-beds-nine-outstanding-projects-by-one-of-americas-best](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/1797977-beds-nine-outstanding-projects-by-one-of-americas-best) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
