Hi All:
Here's the latest way to sleep 3-4 guests in a small space. Good for kids and grandkids--not sure it's ok for adults. While I'm sure some of you wonderful carpenters could construct this for a lot less than the sales price, it is an interesting use of sleeping space, especially with the option of the 4th bed.

I grew up in a family of eight kids. Something like that would have fit nicely into our home. It's funny, now I can't imagine sharing that little space with three other siblings but probably would have thought it was cool as a kid.
