I'm just beginning to experiment with furniture building, but I am pleased with how the bed came out. The plans were easy to follow. I didn't have a finish nailer at the time, so I had to use 2 inch finished nails which I hammered in. Although you can see the nail heads along the side of the head board, I don't think it distracts the eye.
