I made this bed for my son and his girlfriend.
I used pallet wood and new pine for this.
I also added two metal strips to the headboard for decoration.
The headboard is connected to the siderails with 2 bolts straight through the side of each leg. The siderails are on the inside of the headboard.
The siderails are connected to the foot of the bed with 2 bolts straight through the foot into the end of the siderails. I added a third fake bolt to balance the look.

Hi EarthyByBike,
I had previously built the queen farmhouse bed and this bed was modeled from that one. I basically ran the boards vertical instead of horizontal. It uses most of the basic techniques as the farmhouse bed. I took the ideas from the farmhouse bed and then just changed it up a bit.
I can't remember the exact height of the bed but I think it was 165cm.
