It is time i finally get a bed frame, my wife and i both like this one. It looks like something i can build myself.
I would love to try building this with as few nails/screws as possible. It is for a King Sized bed.
You don’t want this OP. Look up mold under closed bed frames. You will sweat. That sweat will wicker through the mattress, that sweat will get trapped under the mattress, that sweat will then fester and mold.
If you do something similar to this, make sure there are air holes and good airflow in the bookcases.
It is not closed, the head is open, and I live in a very arid climate.
I’m just saying you need more airflow than you realize, even in arid climates. Without airflow relative humidity doesn’t mean much, your undercarriage will still get high local humidity.
3 cabinets, put bed base (Bettrost?) on top? Use glue if you don’t want screws. Or don’t.
Btw, you should make sure you can still vacuum in there.
How you gonna stop the mattress from sliding off of there when you get to fucking?
Serious answer to an unserious question, but you could drop the bed slats by 10-15mm to “tuck” the mattress into the frame and stop it from sliding around during rigorous nighttime activities.
That shouldn’t be a problem since he doesn’t want to screw or nail…😜
I guess that means our ace won’t want to nut either.
Three identical cabinets, the length of which added to the depth is equal to the length of the mattress.
If you don’t want to carve out a rabbet, make the back of each 3/4" short, so you have a space to drop the stretcher boards.
If you don’t want to use screws, dovetail the carcasses and dado the dividers.
As few screws as possible?
That’s the two killer 3000 model. It’s pocket screws holding together a box. The plywood across the back of each box gives it stiffness.
I would strongly suggest throwing some 2x4’s under it, and a few inches back. Just to get that bottom edge above toe height. Anything you’re likely to walk right up to should have toe clearance. Especially if you might do that in the dark, like a bed.
Once you raise it up, get 2 6 foot strands of LEDs with a motion sensor trigger and stick the LEDs facing the floor on either side and the sensor facing outwards. No you have an automated nightlight that won’t wake you partner. Trust me it’s amazing.
I bought a cheap articulated bedframe that came with “running lights” underneath, similar to this. At first I was skeptical. In practice, having a nightlight that illuminates just the bed’s edge is unobtrusive and (surprisingly) exactly where you want light to avoid bashing toes and shins in the dark. Also, it only amounts to something like eight decent wattage warm LEDs; it’s not even a whole strip. It doesn’t take much.
Yeah, but I went with the ghetto version and threw a a toilet bowl light under each side of the bed.
I never thought about the toe killer potential of floor-flush furniture.
But won’t a 2x4 place it at an awkward height where it’s tall enough to accumulate heaps of dust, but not tall enough to easily clean underneath? I have a sofa like that, and hate cleaning under it

Any more info on this? A quick web search just returns cars
I think it was a joke that got typo’d. “Toe-Killer 3000”
Yeah, it drives me nuts how many of my typos happen to be words, so autocorrect never helps.
Oh. Heh. Bummer, I’ve actually been hunting for a really similar bed frame for ages.
Three Ikea Kallax and you’re golden xD
