We used 2x6s on the sides so we wouldn't have a ledge on the side of the bed. Everything still lined up really well! We also used brackets to put the sides onto the headboard and footboard. It made it easier to put together and seems sturdier.

Great Job!
I thought about doing brackets too, but not sure how that would work w/the cleets on each side for the slats.
