It is time i finally get a bed frame, my wife and i both like this one. It looks like something i can build myself.
I would love to try building this with as few nails/screws as possible. It is for a King Sized bed.

That's the two killer 3000 model. It's pocket screws holding together a box. The plywood across the back of each box gives it stiffness.
I would strongly suggest throwing some 2x4's under it, and a few inches back. Just to get that bottom edge above toe height. Anything you're likely to walk right up to should have toe clearance. Especially if you might do that in the dark, like a bed.
Any more info on this? A quick web search just returns cars
I think it was a joke that got typo'd. "Toe-Killer 3000"
Yeah, it drives me nuts how many of my typos happen to be words, so autocorrect never helps.
Oh. Heh. Bummer, I've actually been hunting for a really similar bed frame for ages.
Three Ikea Kallax and you're golden xD
I dunno. I trust MDF/particle board in compression, but not in suspension or tension. The horizontal bits may not be strong enough, and the backer would really need to be plywood to handle racking forces... which then relies on fasteners into more MDF. It also depends on the weight and (ahem) mileage the bed is going to see.
