Hi Mark,

I beg to differ on the question of the weight of the bed. The plywood
used in the upper bunk is very heavy.... I bet the wood used weighs
at least 40 or 50 lbs.

A friend of mine has recently acquired these parts; I'll see if he
can weigh them for us so we'll know for sure.

Happy trails,
