Our first build! Adapted plans to make a king size. Headboard is an old barn door I found. (Pic is crooked not bed ;) ) We had to use 2 Twin XL mattresses due to narrow staircase. Added extra slats. I'm saying it took a weekend to build only because it was below 30° in garage and we took warm up breaks.
