Is it possible to make a DIY bed frame with minimal tools?

carpentry

sorry if this is not the correct place to ask, I browsed a bit here and saw some posts asking similar questions about potential projects.

I’ve done a lot of research and it seems going diy for what I want might be the most cost efficient option. All I need is a very minimal frame that lifts my mattress about 6 inches off the ground to prevent mold. that’s it. I’d rather it be sturdy and last but I also don’t have $1000+ for an actual reputable brand. How reasonable would it be to do this with wood from Home Depot, a drill, wood glue, and clamps? maybe a few other tools?

Ive looked at some tutorial videos but they seem a little complicated and have features I wouldn’t need to include.
