Needed a quick and simple plan for a new king frame, so I went with the simple panel bed. Stuck mostly to Ana's directions, but used pocket holes on the back of the headboard to get the 1x8's really tightly flush against each other. Since I was assembling it myself I definitely followed Ana's tip about cutting some spacers to prop up the sideboard while securing them to the headboard. Even with as minimal as these plans are, the bed is pretty heavy and very sturdy.
