The new wood looks great!

We couldn't afford the $500 kits
Still spent almost $200 though
Buying the new strips and bought the bolts at a local hardware store
 Think there is 90 bolts

And the wood actually fits in between the bed and frame
A very strange design by GM

We looked at a lot of different wood and got cedar since it doesn't rot as fast as other stuff

And the coatings you put on the wood always peel off so we just left it natural
