Modular Loft Bed and Methods of Using the Same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a modular loft bed. Specifically, the modular loft bed comprises a plurality of rigid pieces that form together in a slot and tab configuration. The pieces fit together in various combinations to form a plurality of different loft bed embodiments. More specifically, the modular loft bed utilizes the plurality of rigid pieces together in a slot and tab configuration and without using mechanical and/or chemical means for binding the pieces together. In other words, the modular loft bed only uses gravity and friction to bind the rigid pieces together, and does not require the use of bolts, screws, glues, or other means.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A modular loft bed comprising:
 a first side panel and a second side panel, each disposed roughly in parallel a distance from each, and a first end panel and a second end panel, the end panels interconnected to the side panels, respectively, via tabs and slots; and   a plurality of lateral cross panels bridging from the first side panel to the second side panel, each lateral cross panel having a tab or interconnecting with a slot in the respective first and second side panels.
