The benches tie the bed-frame and the front face together. Everything got very stiff after this, and this is before the runners and stringers are installed! It's not exactly weight bearing yet though.

Step 6: benches at last!
The benches took a while because I wanted to make them from scraps of the 2x4s was splitting for the runners. This went poorly as most 2x4s had, at some point on their length, knots up to 2" in diameter, effectively compromising the strength of the runner. I started keeping an eye out for 'perfect' straight grained 2x4s from then on.
