My dad and I made this in a queen size to match a mattress it already had. We changed the plans a little, making the legs from two boards to make it more stable. We used a nail gun to put together the lip of the frame and used wood screws for the rest. The headboard was made from the left over slats and attached with a 2x4 on the back of the frame. We also bought square sliders and screwed them to the bottom of the legs so that they don't scratch our wood floors.

Finish Used
I chose to leave the wood unfinished (which saved some time) because I liked the natural look. Just sanded it and left it. I may let it weather a little and then do something for staining it.
