Hi! Can anyone tell me if the side panels on the KURA bed are structurally necessary in the low position? We’d love to leave them off to keep storage space underneath. Thanks in advance!

Hi NKS
Looking at the assembly instructions, the side panels do not appear to be load bearing or used to secure the beams together. The side panels are slotted into the grooves along the beams, so it may be possible to omit them. That said, without the side panels there may be a slight wobble.
I’ve seen hacks where drawers are added to the KURA. Here are two to get your creative juices flowing.
Kiki and Zoe created the space under the KURA bunk bed structure for two drawers with MALM drawers on wheels. See more here.

Hope that helps.
Happy hacking!
