Made this in a weekend, took us about 12 hours total. Loved how it came out and used the recommended stain. I ended up doing three coats on the headboard. My boyfriend and I used douglas fir, definitely came out very sturdy. We did have to make some adjustments and it was a bit of a learning process with the pocket holes. The plans should be a little more detailed but if you take your time the pieces come out so great!

Finish Used
We used varanthane weathered wood accelerator in gray. I sanded everything done with 320 grit and stained the wood twice. The boards for the headboard needed a third coat. I also used a rag and rubbed additional stain on any errors that looked thin and to remove excess brush marks.
