I’ve made the queen and full to plan. I made a modified full with the same supply list except I used long boards on one end for the feet and made it with a headboard using the extra from the slats used to support the mattress. With the rail hardware, less than $80 per bed. Great plans, we love them.
The plans for the bed frame were great. Had no issues following them
Thank you!!
The plans were great in helping me make my bedframe. I followed each step in the plans and my bedframe came out perfectly! Thank you so much!!
Great plan, easy to follow and nice results. Just what we wanted for our cottage bed.
Only comment would be that there is a slight oddity in the plan - the diagrams and the cut list have a 1/2 inch difference on the plank lenghs. The extra half inch is needed to fit the mattress properly, but just a bit confusing.
That was a fun project to make. I will say measure your bed our bed was smaller length wise then the prints. But it will be an easy fix.
I have almost no wood working experience and this was really easy to follow. I would recommend it, we got common fir wood and it came out to about $130 in wood. Then took us about 4 days after work to complete.
