We love our bed frame! The instructions video was the most helpful as we rewatched every part of that video while building it like 10 times to make sure we got it right. We ended up adding an extra 2 inches to the width without having the built in side tables thinking that would be a significant addition to the sides to act like platforms to put things but it ended up being pretty close to the same size as the mattress. I will say the first pic on the site where the platform extends well past the mattress is kind of misleading but I wouldn’t remove any stars from that since we are the ones who measured.

I am about half way through making the bed - have everything cut, glued, and sanded - just need to put it together and varnish it (have had limited time to work on it, so doing it in small chunks of time). So far, so good! Can’t wait to see the final piece, but already love it. PDF lumber list was perfect, video was great, but would have love to have an actual step-by-step PDF so I don’t have to keep going back to the video, but otherwise spot on!

Love this bed! It took 3 hard days, but I built it myself. Not an experienced carpenter, took time to plan and build it right. I think it came out nicer than Ben’s, just my opinion. Added some depth and width so I still had a boarder with a queen mattress, doubled the plywood (edge) where it was only one layer to create a more substantial look, plus a little phone shelf from scraps

Great simple hardware for a platform bed! Great platform bed hardware - extremely sturdy and the metal is properly thick for whatever you throw at it. Built the bed following the online tutorial and everything went smoothly. A few details on build that I had to kind of guess on, but it all worked out. The final product is amazing. I built it for my King bed and it's still really strong.
