I searched for a bed like this but didn’t find anything I liked that was well-built and affordable. So, I’m building this one out of solid wood for about $450. (Except I had to buy a new miter saw, because my old one was stolen out of my garage about two years ago, so that was another $250.)

Edit:

Here’s the Blender 5.1.1 file

You’ll need the Measure It addon installed and enabled to see the dimensions. The gray boards are the blank stock pieces I bought. It’s in inches, because I’m a stupid American.

Here’s a screenshot of the blender file:

Edit 2:

I have most of the pieces cut to size. I’ve already made a small mistake, but it wouldn’t be my project if I didn’t. Nothing a little wood filler won’t fix. The side walls of the headboard with the angles I’ll need to cut with my circular saw. Or, maybe I could do it like this. I’m not sure my table saw is big enough. (Also, it was either woodworker or piano player for this guy, I think he made the right choice.)

Edit 3:

I’m stuck waiting for the Vevor pocket hole jig I ordered, and the bed rail hardware. I didn’t get the Kreg, because it’s plastic and more expensive than the more versatile Vevor jig.

    Only if you compare it to custom bespoke pieces. It would probably still be cheaper to buy a bedframe that looks close tot his and work from there.

    And this one, for example, does look very close to the Ikea Tarva.

      OP said solid wood, that alone would put a premade bed frame like this easily over 2k, not even bespoke.
