He definitely built his son his very own dutch oven.

For real though, I need the adult version of this.

 

[halfbeast]

general question on those "awesome things I do"-videos. isn't it a bit pretentious to share those things, that were meant to surprise your loved ones, with the internet? if there's some big surprise thing you plan to do for your boy/girlfriend/whatever, does talking about it beforehand on GAF excite you more than the event?

So this is what you get when you grow up with a father.

at least i got to build my own forts i guess...............................

 

[captive]

I like how everyone is going all OSHA on this dude. Isn't everyone concerned how helicopter parenting is making us wussies?

Cool bed, cool dad.

seriously.

Yo rich people raising spoiled little turds who are going to grow up to be future rich turds, nice!

Yea, when I think of rich people and their furniture, my first thought is IKEA.

"hack" "extreme" "Berenstain" "Berenstein"

The faq video was pretty good too.

Those posts at the bottom of the slide look a bit hazardous.

Reddit said it best:

The Kura bed cost $209.00, he bought two of those.
The Trofast Frame: $39.99
Besta Shelf Unit with door: $78.00
At a bare minimum, he spent $550, including miscellaneous parts and such (pipes, wood, etc.).
That's expensive for a bed that will be used for maybe 5 years.
Also, the uncovered electrical socket on the wall in the hidden room, exposed electrical wires, a dangling rope on a gantry, no ventilation into the hidden room. Seems perfectly safe to me.

What a hack.

He put in an annotation saying he has since shortened/rounded them.

Oh shit. Best post I've seen in a while.



My dad did something similar for me, refused to let me put a secret room in though.

 

[soepje]

Neat. I'll be sure to remember there is such a thing as Ikea hacks, didn't know that was a thing.


Also, lol at the youtube comment

He's gonna smoke so much weed in there when he's older lol

 

[SillyEskimo]

Someone thinks $550 for a kids bed is expensive? Whoever made that remark does not have kids and has never shopped for a bed, any bed, in their life.

 

[DoktorEvil]

Yo rich people raising spoiled little turds who are going to grow up to be future rich turds, nice!

IKEA is DEFINITELY a rich man's luxury. Maybe you should never step into one for filthy poors like yourself.

Spoiler

/s if it's not that obvious enough

I sold furniture at retail, I can attest to this. Something like this in the store where I worked? $2500 minimum.

 

[Aske]

Amazing. Sounds like a smart parent who knows it's important to teach his kid about things like wires and sockets. It's not like he added a knife rack to the bookcase, or installed a stove behind the storage bins.

Awesome dad.

I say that probably was better for your development than to be handed everything right?

Although, it's a pretty cool build from the dad and not expensive at all.

I would claim he could have cheaper with just real wood (and not that cheap Ikea stuff) without the Ikea profit margin.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Pretty cool, hopefully I can do that for my kids one day.

So this is what you get when you grow up with a father.

I grew up with a father and he didn't build anything like this for me in fact he didn't build anything. :|

 

[Ultima_5]

those post at the end of the slide are going to do some damage when if the kid sticks his arms/legs/head over the rail while going down

"Haha yeah IKEA is all cheap shit you dummy even if you spend $550 on stuff the kid will outgrow real soon that's like, cheap IKEA stuff!"

Have you ever shopped for quality furniture, ever?

 

[Sub_Level]

wut. How are you coming to that conclusion?

Its ok to spoil your kids with love. Thats how its supposed to be. This dad is doing it right.

 

[ThankYouDaletech]

For a toddler? Nah. Do good toddler beds start around $500?

 

[PdotMichael]

Looking at all the potential dangers on that bed. Not sure if he is doing it right.

DIY style - you can easily build more than one toddler bed even if you outsource that woodturning.

 

[John Kowalski]

I cannot imagine he would do this stuff if it weren't already his hobby. Building a thousand dollar computer to last three of playing games isn't anything but spending 500 bucks to build your kid a super cool bed, something which you probably already do as a hobby, is too much?

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

I don't plan on having kids for a while, but this is definitely inspiring!

Why do you need kids in order for you to build one? Make one for yourself.

 

[Meffer]

He mentioned that he shortened and rounded them after the video was posted.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

That kid is set for the onset of the wanks.

 

[LucidMomentum]

I'm already budgeting for it.
Gonna deck out the hideout with velvet and call it the Bone Zone.

 

[NastyBook]

LMFAO!

I saw that on Reddit. Also saw the Portal room. My kid would have loved either one, but instead he gets his older brothers shitty, broken hand me down furniture.

What if he did? What if the secret room is actually the dad's secret bachelor pad?

 

[Amalthea]

So this is what you get when you grow up with a father.

You can also grow up with a father who doesn't care about you.

 

[MilkyJoe]

The word hack is used a little too often these days.

 

[Noirulus]

I definitely need to do this if I have kids in the future

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

I remember when my dad made me stuff and didn't post it on the Internet

 

[Maximus.]

Man that is one sweet bed. Will suck when he outgrows it, but the memories will be great.
