Re: Installed a new wood over metal bed yesterday

Was not a kit. I priced out some of them but they were rather pricey. I bought the wood from a local cabinet supply store and cut/finished it. A friend (who builds custom wood work for my business) and myself designed it, and he cut everything. I bought the stainless rails and bolts on-line. It's about 1 1/2" thick. It took the two of us around 5 hrs. to assemble and install it. I hope to get the trim pieces completed and installed next week. The wood graining and color looks better in person, than in the photo's. Just got lucky with the batch of lumber.
