I really like this bed frame
(http://zoehome.com/ItemDetail.php3?S...3103&Page=#top) but the
price seems absolutely outrageous given that it pretty much just involves
three pieces of wood (two vertical, one horizontal). I'm feeling a little
adventurous and I might build it myself... I'm no building expert, but this
particular frame doesn't look like rocket science.

I was wondering if you guys had any tips for building structures like bed
frames. It will need to support the bed plus two bodies, so what would be
the best wood? Also, what would be the best way to attach the pieces
together? It seems like the most solid would be to place the vertical pieces
completely under the platform and drill through the platform (versus placing
the pieces attached to the front and back of the platform either drilling
through the vertical pieces or using triangle blocks underneath).
