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.

    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
