The picture below is how I constructed the shelves altogether to make it into a platform.
Please take note that all the shelves used were from the BESTÅ family.

So... my personalised platform bed is made up of
4 x BESTÅ White frames (120cm x 40cm x 38cm)
3 x BESTÅ White frame (60cm x 40cm x 38cm)
4 x BESTÅ White frames (120cm x 40cm x 38cm)

**The dimensions for the normal white frame and TV bench are the same (120cm x 40cm x 38cm)
the only difference is that for the TV bench there is a hole already cut out at the bottom for wiring purposes.**

The reason why I only spent $316 constructing my platform bed was because the day that I went to ikea to purchase my shelves, frame 'A' which is also known as
BESTA white frame (120cm x 40cm x 38cm)
was on sale at $49 each!
So...
$49 x 4 = $196
$40 x 3 = $120
$196 + $120 = $316
BESTA white frame (120cm x 40cm x 38cm)
was on sale at $49 each!
So...
$49 x 4 = $196
$40 x 3 = $120
$196 + $120 = $316
and the actual amount if there weren't any sales is...
$70 x 4 = $280
$40 x 3 = $120
$280 + $120 = $400
$70 x 4 = $280
$40 x 3 = $120
$280 + $120 = $400
Considering the fact that you are actually spending $400 on a platform bed which can also store and keep your things I think it is worth every penny of yours!
I hope this will help you if you are intending or planning to also built your very own platform bed by purchasing shelves from IKEA!
You can also put some fairy lights on your platform to make your whole room look cosy!
