Fun Size: A bit of industrial design

Lana and I have had some bed issues here, the previous mattress was shot as was the box spring and cheap frame. The problem was the frame couldn't support the bed and everything sagged in the middle. After a bit of deliberation, we decided to build our own bed with a platform so a box spring wouldn't be required. We both studied the look of some modern beds and thought their designs and shapes were quite nice and the construction of them seemed easy to emulate. We made a little plan and headed to Home- Depot and got the supplies.

3 (2x 6)
brackets
plywood and wood screws

All in all it took and day to get together, we ran into a few problems but were fairly easy to fix. The main problem being that the jerk at home-depot who cut the wood for us was incompetent, our boards were not all perfect. It was important for us to not have any screws or nails of brackets visible, so everything for structure is contained in the bed. The only thing left I suppose is to stain/poly it. The little sawdust left on it makes us sneeze!
