Platform Bed Frame Woodworking Plans

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.

Project turned out great.

There was a few issues. First being the pocket holes on the side accents work, but they definitely do not handle movement well. I looked up material sciences and I do not trust that to hold 2 people and a mattered. I had to modify.

Speaking of modify I had to make wood to go over the slats because my bed ebded up being 57inches showing the slats. So I cut wood to hide them.

Screwing on the slats seems like a wasted effort if I use bed hinges to take it apart, so I used Velcro.

I think the design could have been a lot cheaper and a lot stronger without those accents in front and back. Also… why 2 1/2 inch screws? And so many of them. There’s just cheaper and or stronger ways of doing this.

All and all… with the modifications I did I should have just made my own plans.

Ps. It’s also a little high. I wish I knew that I would have taken 3 inches off the legs. Might have to take it all apart to do that.
