A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

If you need a couple more inches, there are companies that make little stands that fit under bed legs. Can give you more room to stick stuff under the bed.
hits Amazon
"bed leg risers"

Variety of shapes and sizes, but they normally have a lip so that a bed leg would have to come up to move off the riser.
From experience, these are also fantastic at mangling your toes when returning to your bed after a pee in the middle of the night.
Next frame I buy is either going to be the correct height, or have the legs recessed from the sides by a few inches.
