Storage cupboards/cabin bed (New Mills SK22)

This is a very strong professionally made fitted cabin bed, mainly consisting of two large deep cupboards, one with a single door, the other with double doors and a removable shelf. See photos. The cupboards could have some other use as they provide a massive amount of storage.
 I will miss the storage space but I have a new use for the room, so it all needs to go!
As a bed it is designed to fit over the staircase bulkhead, common in small bedrooms, to allow for a full size single bed. No mattress available.

The cupboards create a vast amount of storage space. The double door cupboard has an internal width of approx. 85 cm, 73 cm from front to back and is 60 cm high. The smaller cupboard is approx. 40 cm wide, the same depth and height as the larger cupboard. There are 2 infill panels on either side of the cupboards, the one on the right is 28 cm and the one on the left is 15 cm.
So, the cupboards & infill fit a gap of 175 cm approx. wall to staircase bulkhead, however the infill panels can be cut down to fit a smaller space.
The cupboards have now been disassembled, with stickers in place to make reassembly easy. To use it as a bed, the matching cover board is 81cm x 220 cm approx, this is the largest piece in length to transport. There is also a wider board which fits a 3ft mattress.


There is some flexibility as a bed, it was used with an Ikea extra-long mattress previously. Basically, the area covered, allows for some shelving at the foot of the bed. This will be a bit of a DIY project to re-assemble as a bed.

I need the space asap. I don't want to take it to the recycling centre as it all could be useful to someone!

There are several additional pieces of matching board which could be useful. There is no cover piece for the pine used to support the top, this was how it was made, once the 3ft top is in place this is hardly noticeable but if it is a concerns, a kitchen kick board could be bought to match. So, this is a bit of a project to refit as a bed but do-able by someone with some wood work DIY skills.
