Question from ch

We recently purchased a wool mattress and needed a bed frame for it. My husband was able to build a simple platform bed frame using materials we purchased at Lowes for about $50.00. This not only saved us money, but I didn’t have to deal with worrying about toxic finishes or outgassing.

Debra’s Answer

This is great! Thank you for posting these instructions.

So often we all are looking for acceptable products and getting frustrated. My husband and I often make things ourselves so we can make them to our preference, even if we can buy it at the store. It’s good to keep in mind that we always have the alternative of doing it ourselves.
