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.

Oh. Heh. Bummer, I've actually been hunting for a really similar bed frame for ages.

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.
