+Greg Gilmore wow thank you. I have very little skill myself so I think it's easy for like minded people to follow :) I have the same bed but in king size coming to youtube in the next couple weeks.
I've watch these videos all the time when I'm bored. I agree this was a great one for beginners. SOmeone without any power tools could borrow a drill, buy a hand saw and build this in one afternoon. Thanks for leaving out your cousin's roommate's mix tape in the background. Thanks for showing the flaw of the curved wood and talking about using smaller pipes.

As if the average person has a workshop of pro tools available. I’m watching this 7 years after posting and can’t believe those steel pipes were so cheap than 😅 great video and way easy to follow and take notes! 👍🏽👍🏽
Seth, I love you . My son helped me to build this bed and it is amazing. We are on the fluffy and robust side in size and we had to replace bed frames costing $100- $150 on 3 or 4 different occasions. We did this bed in 3 hours or less and it is very sturdy and better built than anything I can purchase at a store . Preparing to travel to another state to help my daughter build herself a bed. Clear and precise direction and measurements. I like it so much I'm going to build one for my room and attache my old headboard to it. Thanks again
Thank you for the great feedback! The frame is really up for the long haul. I am happy you are enjoying it. In the near future I will have 3d plans for all sizes to make it even easier to build. Did you buy the metal legs on Amazon? I find that's the best price.
Thank you for the easy follow tutorial and measurements! I've been hunting on RUclips for a good easy DIY bedframe tutorial for a month. Yours is by far is the most informative for beginners. I'm going to build it this weekend with my wife.
@@LandtoHouse I have a question wat would be the measurements for a full bed I really want to do this but I want it to be full i have a queen rn but i want to downsize for more space in the room plz n thank u in advance 😊
With us three (now with our growing baby) sleeping on our queen sized bed, our current metal bed frame already giving up and bed literally is "sunken" as what you'd see. If it's going to last for so many decades, our bed frame should be sturdy, and your diy bed frame is just exactly what i've been looking for! Others do not meet my custom need. Kudos man!
I made this frame and built it into a headboard in our bedroom. it is the most stable bed frame I have ever been on. We used 3/4 " ply over 6 slats. Love it!!!
+Bushra Khan it depends on what type legs you use and where you buy the parts. If you go with wooden legs you can build this under $55. With the metal legs from online stores you can build this for around $120.
the total cost for the frame not including the headboard was close to $300. we got everything from Home Depot and live in NH which tends to be a bit more expensive than other states. Worth every penny though; this bed ain't going nowhere! with some stain and wipe on poly, this thing looks more amazing than any other frame I have ever had.
Thanks so much for this tutorial. We followed this to make our king sized bed and it was so easy. Our bed is very sturdy and comfortable and it only cost about 150.00. Thanks again.
Just finished making our queen bed from scratch with the headboard. It was definitely a humbling experience (our first real furniture project) but we're super happy with how it came out. Thank you for your super comprehensive video. We learned a lot along the way. One suggestion I have for others, if you don't have a particularly strong drill or very good quality screws, it helps to pre-drill small holes (at least for the frame portion). We ended up getting a stripped screw stuck in our first move with the frame, and it was a huge pain to get it out. After pre-drilling, the rest of the assembly went smoothly. Started in the morning, finished before dinnertime (with breaks for beer and snacks haha). Thanks again!
Thank you for the update. Pre-drilling for screws is a big help. I hope you enjoy the frame. This is one of those projects that could last for many years
Thank you very much for your video, on Saturday i finished my bed exactly as yours, Very very solid frame and i am very happy with our new bed ready for my marriage, the matress is on too. Thank You very much. Cheers from Baja California, México!!
Very sturdy bed frame.. Although the metal nipple and flanges look nice for the supports, I would have spent almost $60 at menards just on just the supports! Instead I used the leftover 2x4s and screwed two 1ft 2x4s together to make cheaper supports. I had a total of 7 supports and it is a very solid build. I build this frame for a little over 100 including the headboard. I also sanded all the wood and added a "classic oak" stain which looks VERY NICE. Thanks for the video. Building this bed was a good idea because the cheapest queen size bed frame online was about $100 but very low quality.. When you build your own things you can insure quality and also potentially save money.
Those metal legs can be costly for sure! If you buy them on amazon you can get by with around $40. Some savings. Sanding is a great idea! Thank you for watching and I hope the frame lasts a lifetime.
I must admit, this may be the only video made on this subject to help others. There are hundreds of video available for bed frames but they all use sophisticated machines and so many types of cuts and joints and what not. This guy used only a saw and a screwdriver. Brilliant 👌
That is the clearest and easiest to understand video I have seen in ages. Thank you so much for your time in putting it together. I will give it a go! Do you think I could use higher pipes for the legs as I want to make a custom made bed with a lot of storage space? Many thanks.
+Amanda Shears thank you. Most of my projects are rather simple like this. I feel that most people appreciate an easy bed to assemble. You can totally use taller pipe. Probably would not go much over 14 inches butt you might could go 18. I have just built a king size bed with half inch pipe instead of 1 inch pipe. It works very well
I do enjoy watching your videos, I haven’t found a video of a Full wooden Frame, do you have the instructions to make one? Thank you for your time Jaime
Amazing work for someone with no skills and basic tools. Thinking about making my 3 and 4 year old their own beds. This is going to make life easy for me. Thank you so much.
Awesome work. You come across these videos on the tube where it says easy way to build a bed and the dude has a workshop with thousand expensive tools in it that not many people have in their positions . I watched your video and my initial thought was " I can make this" Thank you for being a good teacher
Thank you very much. I know exactly what you mean about those Workshop build videos with all the fancy tools. This bed can actually be made really easy because Home Depot or Lowe's can cut the wood for you. I hope that your own build goes well.
I think he’s keeping it kind of simple dude. Counter sinking just adds steps for those out there who want something quick and easy. This isn’t woodworking 102
@@LandtoHouse A countersink bit is a few dollars. Not really that big of a deal if you already have a drill! That said, for a simple construction like this, it's not as important as pre drilling. Heads will sink in by themselves, but not pre drilling could split the wood.
Just made this bed frame yesterday. Purchased at Home Depot it came to 450.00. We used 10 slats and placed 3/4 ply board as well. It’s a great build. And its sturdy. Thank for this video.
If you use 3/4 ply, you don't NEED slats!! 2 sheets of ply will leave left over, and cost about $100, 2x total should be around $30, don't need slats, and screws $20, pipe parts $100, what did you spend the other $200 on!?? All prices Home Depot.
We have just followed your instructions and successfully build the frame. It is very sturdy, very comfortable. Your measurements are amazingly accurate. Thank you very very much.
Just followed this vid and built the bed & headboard,Used 4 inch legs and it turned out great..Stained with Carbon Grey and a splash of ebony black with rub on poly,Thanks for this easy to follow vid.Im a NC boy too and love your vids..Keep them coming
Anyone building this for a foam mattress should probably consider plywood or OSB for the slats instead of 2x4s. Have not read all the comments yet, so apologies if that was already mentioned.
Thank you so much, you gave us a idea to make our new bed, love ,love ,love it and we made it ,its so good thanks to you ,and its now nice and strong too ,so much better than buying the cheap crap new ones that also cost a fortune to buy . Im now so happy , Hubby did a Awesome Job making it .
Hello, again and thank you for responding so quickly. I wanted to know how do I figure out how much/size wood to buy to build a full size bed? Thank you again..
if you look at the board closely that you were worried about the grain is up the wrong way. I would have turned it over so any twist in the future and your screws would have pulled it tight ..but that's just my thought
I have actually gotten feedback from several people that this frame has held up well with couples totaling 1000 pounds. I am happy to hear that the video is helpful!
Pre-drilling the boards you start the screws into would help prevent cracking... I get that it's a keep it simple lesson and design... Very well done, BTW!
These look like the torx deck screws. If so they are self-drilling. I still pre-drill everything, just because, but you can get away with not doing it, with this type of screw.
Thanks so much for the video! I made this today and it only took me an hour to assemble! I only used 5 flanges which seems to be quite sufficient but I will be keeping an eye on it. Kept the cost down quite a bit and managed to keep it under $100 Canadian. Gonna maybe stain it a nice dark colour. Thanks again!
I love this simple design. Looks really strong and sturdy. I've just invested in a heavy latex king size mattress and I reckon this frame would be idle for it. I bet it wouldn't creak much under load. I quite like the low profile to with no big head or tail board taking over the room. Thanks for sharing.
+Scott Haun are you shopping at a big-box store Like Home Depot or Lowe's? This bed will be well over $200 if you shop there. I recommend doing an online search for the metal components.
You're both nuts. Flanges alone at Home Depot cost $63, well short of $110. Throwing in the pipe still only brings it to $100. Total cost for everything but the screws is $168.
Well as he mentions in the video- it's much more expensive at big box stores. After some digging I was able to find all the hardware for around $82 shipped. I don't know that I'll be at the $110 mark after buying the needed lumber and screws but the hardware was still quite a bit cheaper than Home Depot or Lowes. Thanks for the reply, Seth and great video.
Reino Brown hey if you wanted to add 1x10x8 to the out side of you frame would those still measure sides 80.5 head and foot 63.5 or would you have to add another 1/2" or so because it's on the out side ?
Omy! If you are not a lifesaver! Superb! I just stumbled across my perfectly crafted solution to an issue. I cannot thank you enough for this video. The instructions were so clear, concise and Omy! :-)))))))) Just bought the place. Not thinking about moving, but I would think that stacking it alongside the mattress in the moving truck should be practically the same as putting the mattress in & the flanges look to be pretty well attached. Here we have plenty salvage & surplus for building supplies, I could probably find them for a very low price. Again, Thanks!
This is a great video. I just finished building one. This frame is the perfect size. My box spring fit snugly with about 1/8" of wiggle room. I drilled four holes on the topside and reused my existing queen headboard. If you count the time it took to get my old queen bed out of the way, the build time was 3.5 hours. I spent 45 minutes staining the wood (Only the parts that would be visible). I got all my material from Home Depot so my total cost was $195.00. Since I flashed my military ID, they cut the wood for me. Compared to getting a queen bed frame from a big box store, the $195 is nothing to complain about. OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!!!!!!
+Ricardo DePalm Thats awesome! I am happy that you found the video useful and easy enough to follow. 3.5 hours is not a bad time at all. I was actually wondering how long it would take to make the bed without filming (it takes forever to make things and film each step as I go) The price depends largely on where you buy things. My local lumber yard has stuff for a great price so I was able to save a bit. But $195 seems very reasonable. You should have the frame for a long time and it is very sturdy. Thank you for watching!
Excellent job. I am making mine the same way but use 3/4 inch plywood instead of 2X4 for a nice foam mattress. I am also going to stain the wood and put clear shellac prior to assembly. Overall, great, great Idea!
Than you. Using the 3/4" plywood is a wonderful idea. It will add a little more cost but it will make a solid base. I stained this frame a nice dark color. The king size version I stained a gray.
Love the videos, and this is excellent design for a simple build. a few notes for the audience: 1) measure the diagonals and get the 4 sided box square before screwing in the 3 support boards. 2) take the flange off the pipe-leg to screw it to the support board, then screw it back in. 3) with this design, if you are using a box spring, you don't need any of the side-to-side slats, the wood frame in the box-spring will carry the load to the 3 support boards you already have. If not, deck boards are cheaper than 2x4 and you can fill the base with them.
I built one years ago and used 4x4's for the legs (5 of them). Also used 1x2's for the slats. 25 years and five moves, still going strong. I advise against box springs; the platform design is better for your back with just a nice mattress.
Nothing better than making your own frame. It is hard to find quality these days. This was in my parents house and they wanted the box springs. My wife and I have the king version and we do not use the box.
Thank you, we used your design and made a bed for my son. The only difference is we used 18 inch long 3.5 post for the legs since I wanted storage underneath. We made sure to include post in the middle to give it extra strength. He loves the bed since it's so solid.
Thank you for watching! This bed really is a solid one. With your 3.5" posts did you use treated wood? I have heard that it is not a good idea to have that in the house due to the chemicals. Others have used 2x4's and screwed them together as 3.5". Also the middle leg is a good idea! :)
I watch so many videos on how to make a queen size bed and none of them were helpful. I am going to follow each step on making this exact bed frame. I think i have the confidence to make this bed frame. This is my first attempt making anything hope everything goes well.
Thank you for watching! This build is great for beginners. Thousands of people have built it and the feedback shows it is a sturdy frame and easy to make. Be sure to buy the metal parts from the amazon links or ebay to save tons of money.
I built two of these for my basement for extra sleeping quarters without having to add rooms. I just framed them end to end along the wall and i'm going to build a half wall to separate them. I didn't use 2 X 4's for the slats. I thought that was over kill considering the slats that are in my store bought bed are much less. The design is very easy to build . Most videos I saw you needed fancy cuts and tools to do the corners. The adjustable legs were great for the basement floor that isn't level. But they were really expensive! I got 3\4 pipe and flanges. The pipe was about $250 each. The two flanges are $500 each making each leg approx $13 X 9 per bed was a lot. But all in all this was a breeze to build!
I am happy to hear that you were able to follow the build with ease. I am a simple woodworker myself and wanted to share the design. The metal legs can be expensive. I was able to order mine on the internet and save a lot of money. Thank you for the great comment.
Just what I was looking for... an un-mountable bed frame... so if you change the house in the future you do not have to be worried if the king/queen size frame can make through the door..... thanks for sharing!!

Anyone building this for a foam mattress should probably consider plywood or OSB for the slats instead of 2x4s. Have not read all the comments yet, so apologies if that was already mentioned.
+gulliverbfg we have a foam matress and it's working well. You have to have around 15 slats to meet the matress warranty.
Actually foam mattresses are meant to bring. Closely spaced slats will work with a quality mattress
Using slats rather than a piece of OSB, allow the mattress to breathe
Do you know what size the osb needs to be?
Thank you so much, you gave us a idea to make our new bed, love ,love ,love it and we made it ,its so good thanks to you ,and its now nice and strong too ,so much better than buying the cheap crap new ones that also cost a fortune to buy .
Im now so happy , Hubby did a Awesome Job making it .
Hi just come across your channel you did good .You are a good teacher
+Marcia Bernard thank you for watching. Most of my projects are very simple and easy to do.
crowded! Turn the bed around so the bad end is ahainst the wall.I'm going to build this bed,you made it so easy! Great job!
Hello, again and thank you for responding so quickly. I wanted to know how do I figure out how much/size wood to buy to build a full size bed?
Thank you again..
+Roger Miller the head and foot boards would need to be 57-1/2 inches. The two side pieces need to be 74-1/2".
The best tutorial on RUclips, this was easy and to the point.
Thank you! My wife and I use the king size frame of this style and it has been great.
if you look at the board closely that you were worried about the grain is up the wrong way. I would have turned it over so any twist in the future and your screws would have pulled it tight ..but that's just my thought
+Maurice Brown I see. Thank you for pointing that out. That would have made a difference.

Thank you sooo much for the sturdy frame. My wife and i aren't light and having the cheap metal bending and cracking makes for a weird sleep
I have actually gotten feedback from several people that this frame has held up well with couples totaling 1000 pounds. I am happy to hear that the video is helpful!
Pre-drilling the boards you start the screws into would help prevent cracking... I get that it's a keep it simple lesson and design... Very well done, BTW!
+Alfred Wheeler yes indeed! In the king bed build I pre-drill all the holes to keep it from cracking. Thank you.!
These look like the torx deck screws. If so they are self-drilling. I still pre-drill everything, just because, but you can get away with not doing it, with this type of screw.
+Beau Sizemore you are right. But I had a few boards too crack just a little bit that's why I pre drill also.
Alfred Wheeler I agree I always like to pre-drill.
Thanks so much for the video! I made this today and it only took me an hour to assemble! I only used 5 flanges which seems to be quite sufficient but I will be keeping an eye on it. Kept the cost down quite a bit and managed to keep it under $100 Canadian. Gonna maybe stain it a nice dark colour. Thanks again!
nice! I hope you enjoy the frame. 9 legs might be a bit much but it is strong. You should be fine with 5.
This is so helpful thank you for your Video....i really appreciate it...so i can do like this my own....
+nora sly I am happy to help.
Thank you i really appreciate...
Very good video. I just finished using this design and both my wife and I are very happy with it. Thank you
Very good! I am very pleased with the king size version of this frame that my wife and I have. I hope the design fits your needs for years to come.
Buen video 👍 exelente trabajo Muchas gracias amigo

I'm a spanish speaker and I undertand just a little, viewiing you video I undertood, I apologize for my bad english writting. Thank you so much.
Happy to help! I hope your frame goes well for you!
@@LandtoHouse I really appreciate your help.
you make it look so easy! definitely saving this for when I move into my new place :)
Thank you. This really is not difficult. I was going for easy.
ShannonMCS I’m sorry but you look so beautiful
I love this simple design. Looks really strong and sturdy. I've just invested in a heavy latex king size mattress and I reckon this frame would be idle for it. I bet it wouldn't creak much under load. I quite like the low profile to with no big head or tail board taking over the room. Thanks for sharing.
I built the King size version for my wife and I. We have had not issues at all. We love the frame. Thank you for watching.
8yrs all it was $110 now days it’s prob $500 😩
200 😢... trying it now. Not as EASY as video suggests lmao
This is my favorite Queen bed tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you!
Love the frame, but ya gotta true those edges up when screwing the pieces together man! Nice design tho.
+Starr Drummond I needed some clamps on this build. I just rebuilt the design as a king frame and it worked much better.
thx for the video simple and easy,not to much tools.. that help people who does not have a fancy shop ...just perfect for people like me ..
I like the simple projects like this one. Fewer tools can be better. Most people do not have a large wood shop with all the great tools.
so i dont know how you can do this for $110, i cant even get 18 flanges for that much... good video though!
+Scott Haun are you shopping at a big-box store Like Home Depot or Lowe's? This bed will be well over $200 if you shop there. I recommend doing an online search for the metal components.
Can you mention the online website you used to buy the hardware?
Google is a good place to start. I would also check EssentialHardware.com
You're both nuts. Flanges alone at Home Depot cost $63, well short of $110. Throwing in the pipe still only brings it to $100. Total cost for everything but the screws is $168.
Well as he mentions in the video- it's much more expensive at big box stores. After some digging I was able to find all the hardware for around $82 shipped. I don't know that I'll be at the $110 mark after buying the needed lumber and screws but the hardware was still quite a bit cheaper than Home Depot or Lowes. Thanks for the reply, Seth and great video.
You can drill a starter hole with a drill bit and less struggle tp drill screws. I like that you did it alone!
WHAHAHAHA to prevent the slats from moving around as the bed "is being used"
+Reino Brown haha.
Reino Brown hey if you wanted to add 1x10x8 to the out side of you frame would those still measure sides 80.5 head and foot 63.5 or would you have to add another 1/2" or so because it's on the out side ?
Reino Brown bravo shun mir
Reino Brown i
Reino Brown dude i thot the same thing lol
Omy! If you are not a lifesaver! Superb! I just stumbled across my perfectly crafted solution to an issue. I cannot thank you enough for this video. The instructions were so clear, concise and Omy! :-)))))))) Just bought the place. Not thinking about moving, but I would think that stacking it alongside the mattress in the moving truck should be practically the same as putting the mattress in & the flanges look to be pretty well attached. Here we have plenty salvage & surplus for building supplies, I could probably find them for a very low price. Again, Thanks!
+Yun ki I am happy to help. This frame has been great. Easy to make and will last a long time.
Please countersink
There are tons of things that could be done to improve the build. Sanding is another good one.
This is a great video. I just finished building one. This frame is the perfect size. My box spring fit snugly with about 1/8" of wiggle room. I drilled four holes on the topside and reused my existing queen headboard. If you count the time it took to get my old queen bed out of the way, the build time was 3.5 hours. I spent 45 minutes staining the wood (Only the parts that would be visible).
I got all my material from Home Depot so my total cost was $195.00. Since I flashed my military ID, they cut the wood for me. Compared to getting a queen bed frame from a big box store, the $195 is nothing to complain about.
OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!!!!!!
+Ricardo DePalm Thats awesome! I am happy that you found the video useful and easy enough to follow. 3.5 hours is not a bad time at all. I was actually wondering how long it would take to make the bed without filming (it takes forever to make things and film each step as I go)
The price depends largely on where you buy things. My local lumber yard has stuff for a great price so I was able to save a bit. But $195 seems very reasonable. You should have the frame for a long time and it is very sturdy. Thank you for watching!
i love u
This is the best video by far. you make this so simple. Anyone could make it. God Bless you for sharing. Can't wait to see the head board.
Thank you! This has been a very popular build. My wife and I use the king frame size. The headboard is also simple and easy to build.
Hack job to say the least...
Okay...if you have an opinion, add a bit more narrative.
+Gary K I am not the best at long winded talking
Land to House w
Thanks for watching and having my back.
Thank you. I rather enjoy the frame.
Great work. And it helped me build my own like literally ( 2:45 p.m, July 30th 2019 ) cheaper and stronger than what we buy in stores.
Nice! Happy you like the frame. It is super strong and if you source the metal parts from amazon it's way cheaper.
@@LandtoHouse Hats off to you. You saved me hundreds. Literally.. Keep doing what you do mehn! Easiest DIY instructions I've seen on here
Man what can I say!!! You are the Best!! Love this Simple, Practical & easy assembly approch!! Great Job!! Keep up the good work!!
I have now made 5 of these and they have held up flawlessly!
Hands down the easiest bed I ever seen made.. thanks
Thank you! My wife and I have used the king size version for some time and it has been great!
simply and easy, not much work to completed, thank you
Thank you so much .explained so easily not like many other videos ..cheers again from the Emerald isle itself 🇮🇪🍀
Of all that I have watched. You gat very clear measurements for one to easily follow & do it on thr on.....thanks.
Thank you for the feedback. This Frame is great!
I LIKE ur video it was simple now I can watch ur video to help my son make his bed thank you
Thank you. I hope he enjoys the frame.
Box spring is not what they use to be so s;ays are the best way to go. Great job and may God bless.
By far the easiest vidrio to follow. Makes me think I can make this. Thank you for sharing.
Ur clarity on the video is on point... Thanks for taking ur tym....
Very easy to understand 👍👏
perfecto👌
Thank you! You might enjoy the king frame video too. It shows nice detail too.
Excellent job. I am making mine the same way but use 3/4 inch plywood instead of 2X4 for a nice foam mattress. I am also going to stain the wood and put clear shellac prior to assembly. Overall, great, great Idea!
Than you. Using the 3/4" plywood is a wonderful idea. It will add a little more cost but it will make a solid base. I stained this frame a nice dark color. The king size version I stained a gray.
Great product and great video! You made this video worth the 13 minutes it took to watch
Thank you! The frame has been great! My sister has used the queen size for 6 months and loves it
I built one of these beds solid as a rock !!
Love the videos, and this is excellent design for a simple build. a few notes for the audience: 1) measure the diagonals and get the 4 sided box square before screwing in the 3 support boards. 2) take the flange off the pipe-leg to screw it to the support board, then screw it back in. 3) with this design, if you are using a box spring, you don't need any of the side-to-side slats, the wood frame in the box-spring will carry the load to the 3 support boards you already have. If not, deck boards are cheaper than 2x4 and you can fill the base with them.
Good comments.
Many many thanks for making a simple and easy bed frame, 🎉
I built one years ago and used 4x4's for the legs (5 of them). Also used 1x2's for the slats. 25 years and five moves, still going strong. I advise against box springs; the platform design is better for your back with just a nice mattress.
Nothing better than making your own frame. It is hard to find quality these days. This was in my parents house and they wanted the box springs. My wife and I have the king version and we do not use the box.
Thank you, we used your design and made a bed for my son. The only difference is we used 18 inch long 3.5 post for the legs since I wanted storage underneath. We made sure to include post in the middle to give it extra strength. He loves the bed since it's so solid.
Thank you for watching! This bed really is a solid one. With your 3.5" posts did you use treated wood? I have heard that it is not a good idea to have that in the house due to the chemicals. Others have used 2x4's and screwed them together as 3.5". Also the middle leg is a good idea! :)
Great build easy and simple to follow
I watch so many videos on how to make a queen size bed and none of them were helpful. I am going to follow each step on making this exact bed frame. I think i have the confidence to make this bed frame. This is my first attempt making anything hope everything goes well.
Thank you for watching! This build is great for beginners. Thousands of people have built it and the feedback shows it is a sturdy frame and easy to make. Be sure to buy the metal parts from the amazon links or ebay to save tons of money.
Thanks, appreciate you geniuses who take the time and creating money saving projects, hopefully I record what I have learned and post it here.
+Tripod Threefoot I am always ready to see what others have made!
Fast, easy and to the point. Great video
A great DIY project ,thanks a million . god bless
You’re awesome! Explained it all and showed great video on how to get it done!
Just made this bed. Easy peasy. Very sturdy. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! And for the review of "easy peasy" haha
It was very easy. I made it all by myself and I'm almost 64. I also made the headboard with lights. Wish I could post a picture.
I built two of these for my basement for extra sleeping quarters without having to add rooms. I just framed them end to end along the wall and i'm going to build a half wall to separate them. I didn't use 2 X 4's for the slats. I thought that was over kill considering the slats that are in my store bought bed are much less. The design is very easy to build . Most videos I saw you needed fancy cuts and tools to do the corners. The adjustable legs were great for the basement floor that isn't level. But they were really expensive! I got 3\4 pipe and flanges. The pipe was about $250 each. The two flanges are $500 each making each leg approx $13 X 9 per bed was a lot. But all in all this was a breeze to build!
I am happy to hear that you were able to follow the build with ease. I am a simple woodworker myself and wanted to share the design. The metal legs can be expensive. I was able to order mine on the internet and save a lot of money. Thank you for the great comment.
Just the video I was looking for. Fabulous 🇨🇦
Just what I was looking for... an un-mountable bed frame... so if you change the house in the future you do not have to be worried if the king/queen size frame can make through the door..... thanks for sharing!!
This frame does fit through a door but be sure to have help because it can be a little heavy. Thanks for watching!
i just made one for my daughter great video very helpful
I am happy you were able to use the video as a guide. My wife and I have a king size version and we love the frame.
I love this idea. You could use palettes for the slate to save money. You did a great job.
