I'd agree that biscuits wouldn't be sufficient for any structural joint
on a bed frame. I'm working on a mission style bed frame also, and I'm
using the connectors from the first reply post to connect my side rails
to the posts, and large m&t's to connect the headboard pieces to the
posts.
Look around at Rockler.com - there are a few different types of
hardware to connect side rails to the posts.
Good luck,
Andy


I have never found the connectors shown, on the Rockler website, from
the
original reply to be sufficient. My first few beds I used those
connects
and received complaints of squeaky/wobbly beds. I switched to bed bolt
fasteners and have no more complaints. I am sure that they are
available other places but Less Vally has them.

I believe if you scroll down on that site you'll find bed bolts too. I
just
wanted to give him options. I'm not pushing Rockler but I have one down
the
street and it's usually the first thing that comes up on a Google search.
Its amazing what you find on google if you just ask?



I didn't mean to imply that you were endorsing them. I just wanted to let
people know that I have had bad experiences with them. The bed bolts hace
some design restrictions but I can deal with them. I can't deal with
squeaky beds.

No problem
