In the grand scheme of things, cup holders aren't that important. But not having one is a giant pain. I had a plastic center console thingy that sat on the floor. It had a couple cup holders but the drinks always tipped right out of it. And it was annoying bending down that for to get my drink. I wanted a cup holder that hooked over the window trim. I actually spent about an hour one night looking for something online that would work. I found nothing.

Time to take matters into my own hands. I built cup holders out of mild steel. This was a good opportunity to use my metal brake, with a touch of welding. Then I powder coated them in white at the same time I powder coated the bunk bed wall brackets.

I am trilled with the cup how the cup holders turned out. That work extremely well. They fit small stuff like a 12 oz soda can. But also large stuff like my wife's "stanley" cup. I do wish I was a better welder. Some of the joints are a little ugly. But these cup holders would probably still take my body weight. What more do you want.

I did add some rubber bumpers to the underside of the cup holders so they grip onto the plastic a little better without sliding around.
