Go and visit the actual bed in the show room and see how it is held together.

Deconstruct it on paper.

Then replace all the knockdown fittings (as I imagine it's flat pack) with real joints.

Should give you the idea, just adjust the dimensions as needed.

i hate furniture stores just for this reason, prices are an absolute rip off and should be illegal.

I got my sleigh amd 4 post bed frams for king size $200 on craigslist. Other than that good luck anon.

Nice wood for the back board and trim is whats gonna get expensive. The structural stuff can be ugly as sin no one will see it but everything you see on the outside has gotta be pretty.

i agree. never buy anything from ashley's furniture. I have never felt so ripped off in my entire life

>the slats in the middle are just 2x4's
You better go look at one. They are NOT 2x4s.

I found plans for similar on ana-white.com. There's a shitload of free plans on there, and for beds like this the materials are well under $200. Just needs your time.

Is there a reason almost nothing are the same width?
