How to build a king-size platform bed frame under $100. DIY woodworking with minimal material waste.

For more details: twincivet.com/platform-bed-un...
Platform bed frames support the mattress directly, without needing a separate box. I looked through several plans available online, but were not impressed by them. The plans I found were either too complicated, or too simple to be aesthetically pleasing.
So I decided to make my own plan. I had the following requirements for the plan:
* It should be simple enough for me to make over 1 weekend
* The cost should not exceed $100
* It should be strong, and aesthetically pleasing
* Material waste is minimal
Hope you find this video & blog post inspiring and practical. Enjoy!

This is one of the first DIY bed frames where the legs look strong enough to not wobble! I think if I do this one I'd add in another leg at the corner to make more of an L to get support in both directions.

no lateral support, fat lady side move will collapse frame 😭

[@twincivet9668]

if you're speaking of a 1000lb of lateral force, it might. the frame is ok in real life. 😉
