Abstract
A platform bed, when collapsed from its fully assembled position, appears to be and functions as a storage chest as follows: The slats are removed from between the hinged side panels and off of the rails. The rails are then lifted out of the rail supports. Manually exerting pressure on the footboard/chest front toward the headboard/chest back forces the hinged side panels to fold allowing the collapsible platform bed with integral storage chest to fold in an accordion-like fashion. Once fully collapsed, the rails and slats are stacked and stored on the folded hinged side panels, headboard beam, middle beam, and footboard beam within the open chest. Then the hinged headboard panel/chest lid is rotated downward to rest on the footboard/chest front to conceal the contents in what appears to be a closed storage chest.
