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.

You don't want this OP. Look up mold under closed bed frames. You will sweat. That sweat will wicker through the mattress, that sweat will get trapped under the mattress, that sweat will then fester and mold.
If you do something similar to this, make sure there are air holes and good airflow in the bookcases.
It is not closed, the head is open, and I live in a very arid climate.
I'm just saying you need more airflow than you realize, even in arid climates. Without airflow relative humidity doesn't mean much, your undercarriage will still get high local humidity.
