You would definitely have to leave a space around the edge of the bed for expansion and contraction or otherwise there would be nowhere for it to go. I've seen wood move due to enviornment conditions and it is incredibly powerful. It would take some type of angled strip to cover the gap. Just daydreaming, but it would be interesting to see a nice finished kitchen floor in the back.
