I would like to construct this with the slats a bit closer together- and then add an additional slat. Is that possible, or is the slat position fixed?

Slat position is fixed since they fit into grooves in the frame. But if you're handy with wood, you could probably figure something out.

It would be a lot of work. Each slat rests on the side frame. One wider long piece of wood under it and then a second piece on top of that (narrower) with a niche carved out to position each slat. It would be easier to simply add a few extra slats.

I think you may have to measure it, and put your own size to it, but I think it should work, my husband looked at it, and says you should be able to figure it out

You can add 11 wooden furring strips between the slats provided. They can be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes for about a $1.15 each.You will have to cut each to 56 5/8 inches as the furring is 96 inches long. Space between slats is reduced to 1 1/2 inches between them.You'll also have to provide the extra screws and be sure to drill pilot holes first.

I put the two twin beds together because I wanted the flexibility of two beds or one bed and used the SGT Knots to hold them together. The main thing you have to make sure of is that the twin bed slats are of equal size. Mine were not so when I put them together one side of the bed was lower by about an inch.

As long as you already have the wood slats, I don't see a problem. I don't know what size your bed is but be forewarned that you'll need equal room to assemble the Dynasty Mattress box foundation. I live in a tiny apartment and had to assemble mine (twin size) in the kitchen. Maybe you can figure out a way to do it on top of the bed.

Not designed to go together that way. Can be done though, I did so since we needed the the two beds we bought to face each other.

You could, but I'd advise against it. The slats rest on central supports which have the option of being installed with bolt-on extensions in case you want to use the frame without a box spring. These supports are little more than screwed in segments of 1x4, and are therefore incapable of resisting any force not oriented directly in the vertical axis. Were you to install risers, you'd have to be extremely careful not to move in the horizontal plane, or you may find that the support tips the riser to the point where the riser no longer provides any kind of support and you' ll find yourself breaking through the slats at that location.

I don't think so......The slats are kind of slanted......then again where there is a will there is a way!

Yes you can do this - I had same situation and I just added two of these between the center stick and the edge of the frame - giving me 9 total supports. I found that the middle stick was on the problem - it was too much room to the left and the right of the middle stick.

I haven't tried stacking..mine are in a square with space in between but I'll bet you could get brackets and use them to attach each bed to another one...the L shaped ones. Hope this works for you.

The slats come pre-screwed into the base. Assembly was really quite simple and not too time consuming. I assembled it by myself.

The top of the support is steel and has two pre-drilled holes in it. So whatever you attach the support to has to be able to be screwed into. If the slats are wood, you could get two of these and put one on each slat.

I imagine Gina B figured it out, but it will arrive looking like it is missing slats. They are screwed to the ends of the swing for stability. Unscrew them and then put them into their missing place. Note to seller- assembly directions need significant improvement.

As the pieces that go between the mattress and what it is on are only 3 straight "sticks" it may be much more difficult to make it secure if the mattress is on just slats.If you still wanted to use this product you would probably have to add a sheet of plywood between the slats and the mattress to make sure that it would be secure.

Attach them to the center of the slats if they are wooden to increase sturdiness

I don't think I needed to add the center board, if I didn't wish to. I thought it would make 2 stronger beds, supported, if I did, so I did. If center support is not an issue then why not?

The slats alone might pose an issue - I did not try it once I saw how far they would be spaced. I placed a plywood board from Lowe's ($12) on the slats to support my memory foam mattress and it works great.

Honestly, I have not tried...so I can't say 100%. But the way the whole thing collapses and folds together, I would think you could. The strength of the unit though, is in the shape; the hexagon makes for a more stable structure. I have plans to add 2 more panels, but I believe those will connect at the opening that is currently there. I wish I could be of more help.
