At the foot of the bed there is a gap between the slats and the wall and there is room to keep a shelf there and still raise and lower the bed. I was a full timer for 1.5 years and used the top bunk for permanent storage with "under the bed" plastic bins stored on top. When I had guests, they had a comfortable bed on the bottom bunk and I just kept the upper bunk pinned up and raised and lowered the lower bunk as necessary. Sorry I don't have a picture of the actual framing underneath the mattress.

I like that idea! very nice! I may use it.
Not sure yet if we could give up the seating in ours though. We don't have the happy-jack seats. Ours is a U-shaped dinette.
