Wow, good wood! well you have to take in the bed size, frame at least 1 inch clearance on both side and same from end to end. Cherry wood splits easily so be careful use dowels or metal hangers for construction. I would find a blue print design that would give the right measurements for the bed, king ,queen, etc. The natural beauty of the wood should really come out nice, plan it carefully.

No need to build anything. I have two. 2 step devices that my cat uses all the time to look out the windows. They may be Rubbermaid? Or some brand name product, in a sturdy molded Poly. and too as one answer states pet steps if aesthetics are an issue can ber purchased reasonably, carpeted

I built two bed frames. The most important thing to remember is to make it sturdy and easy to disassemble. Mine bolts together with carriage head bolts and the headboard has book shelves and a hidden trap door. As for how to finish it, you should judge your own skills for what you can do.

If you have the skill. use mortise and tenon joints, secured by wood pegs. This reflects skill, as opposed to just using hardware.
