Reasonable king bed frames

Have purchased many from Wayfair. It’s the way to go. Joss & Main and your PB and RH are vastly overpriced.

You can typically find one you like on an expensive retailer site and search it for comparable models on wayfair and other sites

Got mine from here. They have different styles now but it's well made. $449 for this one

It’s a frame. Just check marketplace/
Offer up/ Craigslist/ Nextdoor/ whatever. Save 90% or more.

I’ve bought several from Zinus and have been very pleased with their pricing, thoughtful packaging, quality, and even the handy ratcheting hex wrench they include for assembly!

I built our king bed frame. Going on 10 years with it now, 2 horses could screw on it and it wouldn't squeak once.

I'm getting ready to make a queen size bed out of cherry lumber. I'm getting the lumber for under $2.50/board foot, which is a steal.

Where the hell are you getting Cherry for 2.50 a b/f? I'll buy a whole truck load of that. Are they normal 8' or longer lengths?

I built my bed frame also but it was out of alder. I'll never buy a piece of furniture unless it's a couch or chair (I don't do upholstery). I got so tired of every bed I've ever owned developing creeks and making noise any time you barely moved around. My bed is solid as a tank and doesn't make a single noise even when you try to bang the headboard against the wall. I'll try to remember to post pictures this afternoon of mine.

You got a design in mind for the bed? Always curious to see different bed designs. I'm starting to build a 2800 sq ft shop that'll have a office/efficiency attachment and I'm looking forward to building the office desk and furniture once the shop is done. I really want to build something out of walnut. Stuff's super expensive but looks so dang good when it's finished.

I have connections of a lot of foresters and guys who have mills in Missouri. My dad worked for the Forest Service there for 35 years dealing with hardwood timber and milling.

He has a friend that runs a big sawmill that will mill and kiln dry it for 2 bucks and a little chance per board foot. I'm buying as much as I can and either my dad will bring it to me on a trailer or I'll go see my dad and pick it up myself.

The supplier i usually go to in Dallas area sells 8/4 cherry for $7/bf, do i will buy as much as I can get my hands on.

I'll have to check out Barney Robinson in Ft Worth when I'm in that area. I usually go to McKinney Hardwood there in McKinney because the guy is nice and it's closer to me. Phoenix Hardwood in OKC is really good but Dallas is closer to me than OKC.

McKinney Hardwood has a pretty good selection of domestic and exotic, but doesn't carry any sheet goods. Which isn't that big of a deal to me, I pretty much only ever use sheet goods like baltic birch to make jigs and things like crosscut sleds. I don't build stuff with sheet goods.

I'm interested in seeing a picture as well. I'm still not sure if I'm going to make one of the spare beds out of cherry using standard type build, or go with a tusked mortise and tenon build so that there would be zero hardware used in the joinery, or castle joints, etc. Haven't made my mind up yet.
