Is the underside of the drawer area of this bed a flat, solid piece of wood? Trying to discern the possibility of raising the bed 4-5".

I have two beds, a twin and double; they have no under side. With a standard mattress the top of the bed is fairly high, a thicker mistress would be difficult for all but NBA players to climb up on.

There is nothing under it. The sides go around it like a box. Then two panels go across to support the drawers. Then two flat long sheets of wood go across the top for the mattress to sit on. Under the back sheet is empty space. I wanted to find a way to use that as storage. Maybe cut a square out of the foot of the bed and make it a door or something.

Just the top w/o the legs is 5 1/2" tall while your at it you will want to reinforce the bracket tracks that the hold the drawer in. They are notinstalled very well and mine fell off

I sorry but I didn't keep the desk because it was too small for me. From what I can recall, the desk is framed so not putting the drawer in May not make any difference in storage underneath.

no - mine is ontop of a platform - I have drawers under my bed. I love mine and have not had any problems.

Mine appears to be solid wood, but it is very thin wood approx 3/8 in, with a veneer?

ONLY the legs (4) and support bits on the underside of this desk are solid wood. the rest is particle board with a veneer. if the table/desk top used to be solid wood, the desk i just received DID NOT. maybe this is explains the discounted price.

The entire bed, including the drawers, is press/chip board with wood veneer. It's a very dense press board, and very sturdy.

the drawers would hit it... and the bed looks nice I like the room in the drawers but I already have a broken drawer, I have it 6 months :(

Yes, bottoms are wood. Yes, seems secure. Mind you, storage are plentiful but the bed is pretty high due to that height distance for the double drawers . It's a functional storage bed rather than a fancy art-cy bed.

Hello, you are correct, there is a space, and no solid back to the floor. However, if you have a thick enough box spring and mattress you won't even see it. For example, my queen mattress doesn't even allow the gap to show. I would highly recommend it! Quality is great, and it looks amazing.

The bottom is rigid, some kind of plastic or fiber board. It's covered with fabric on the top, so you wouldn't want to cut it. The width 11 5/8th inches, so this is not going to be good for your drawers. Don't buy this one!

The sides and back are thin pieces of pressed board that slide into place. They match the rest, but aren't used for stability. The frame, drawer fronts and top are solid.

This is a very sturdy piece. If the drawers are top heavy It might tip from the weight. I would put heavier items in the lower drawers and work from there. This is what we did and we have no trouble with it. Hope this helps.

The depth of the mattress is insignificant as it goes on a platform anyway..so go for it..you won't regret it..Best storage/bookcase bed I've ever had..never slept so good!

The drawer is below the writing surface, so that's not in the way. There is however a ledge (to percent pencils from rolling off the surface when inclined) that sticks up about an inch or so when the table is flat. It hasn't been a problem for my son at all.

The drawer is "barely" divided, with VERY low permanent wood dividers. You can use them or not.
