Have the wood slats ever broken?

The slates haven't, but the support legs in the middle are too short on mine and have fallen off. We've resorted to stacking books in those areas

Yes. I've had five break in two years. I'd pay extra to get a better quality.

No, they are fine. But the railing that holds the slats is very cheap, fake wood so light can pick up with your pinky...

The slats are not sturdy. Replace them with 2x6s on edge and then use plywood. Not box sprint will be required. Worked for me

It does; however, the slats are cheap plywood. We replaced the slats with 1x4 boards.

These work great! They substitute for wooden slats. Very sturdy. You still need the box spring

If the slats are closely placed it shouldn't be a problem-if they're more than a few inches apart I'd get a piece of plywood or other foundation to lay over them.

The one I got is not solid wood. A lot of particle board and MDF. If you decide to order, check that they sent the slats. Mine never came and I had to make my own.

They do have a lip edge that you can put a mattress right on, but with any amount of weight, you'll fall right through. I have a box spring on ours, and b/c of the width of the headboard and foot board of my particular bed, I added slats as well. Cheap enough to make yourself.

it does not come with slats. You need a box spring with this particular bed frame. Hope this helps

we have had no problems with the slats and we have a sixteen year old grandson sleeping in the bed. He dives on the bed, even though I ask him not to. So far so good.

The slats on the bottom are made of flimsy wood. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I have had the twin size for a few years. We have had an adult or child use it on several occasions. I'm guessing the largest adult was around 170 pounds. The wood slats seem very sturdy. I have never heard any cracking sound from it even with an adult and a couple kids on it while reading.

I unpacked and positioned multiple pieces from this collection and did not notice that. I sure haven't seen the "bottom" fail in anyway over the last 1.5 years. If there is cardboard, it isn't visible when the pieces are positioned on their feet with the back to the wall. I think they are a good value and great style. Could they be sturdier...Yes!, for this money & style, probably not. But I have not had any sturdiness issues with this collection of furniture. I would buy it again.

The one I have has slats set in a heavier square frame with a central support. These have plastic non skid feet on them. I can post a pic. Its more a like a tiny futon platform, if that makes any sense?

Yes. The slats are supported by the outside rails and feet in the center of the bed. Seems to be a very sturdy design.

Yes, it comes with wood slats that support the matress. In combination with my memory foam matress, it's heavenly!

No wood slats....metal bar/grate that you screw into the wood....very secure.

There are no LONG unsupported planks so while the durability might not be as long as without stress, I doubt it will crack. We have had that much weight on ours.
