Very nice! What type of wood did you go with? I'm really wondering if I should just go with wood if/when my janky (but cheap!) beds start to fall apart.
Brown pressure treated wood. Cedar is nice but pricey, and there’s a few pressure treated color options now as well. The wood under the new boards is the same stuff, just a few years old now. Deck is the same stuff too.
There is some risk of chemical leakage from the wood potentially, but the stuff I was reading was about older more dangerous treatment chemicals.
