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.

The width of the slats wasn't the problem. They were too long to fit on the twin bed frame by one inch. I had to saw off the ends of each bed slat in order to use them.

Yes, you can do that with this kit and the boxes I received even had the directions. I didn't make it so I don't know how stable it is but I think it would work fine. After you stack the corner posts to get double height, the third slat will be split between two the upper and lower post to help tie things together. You will have two to three inches of extra post at each corner. If that look bothers you I think you could flip the unit and bury that part in the ground.

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.

What they said... The slats are about 3" apart. I considered adding slats to make a more solid foundation, but my Novaform Gel Foam mattress indicated that it should not be placed on a solid foundation. The foam needs some air circulation. Hope that helps.

Hi! I wanted to do exactly the same thing but the current design does not allow for it because the wheels are on the inside of the frame, so I drilled new holes on the other sides and put the wheels on the outside. Works great now! Hope that makes sense.

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.

You could put two together side by side, but the edge boards do not have shadow marks, so they would have to be added in order for it to not look out of character right at the center of the wall.

In addition to the four side "walls" there are two vertical and two horizontal walls that are fixed, but I found that the number of dividers that could be moved to create custom spaces were sufficient for my needs. Hope this helps. Jammer

We layed the mattress on a platform bed with slats that are 3in apart however I would recommend having lowes cut a piece of plywood and lay that on top of the slats.

With some modifications you probably could. I left the L part off when I put together. You would need extra brackets to make it long instead of an L

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?

Loop them through and velcro the back pieces together. They are a little short for one of the slats and too large for the other so I just fit them where it was comfortable to sit on and they look great. Mine are higher up that the ones in the pic.

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats...if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

No, all slats are not separate. The back, the bottom and the sides are separate pieces along with the gliding mechanics.

No, not at all. Mine is sitting on slats right now. This item is amazing. Comes in the box; a small amount of put-together and that's it.

They are designed to side by side. (You would be missing a side if separated.) But if you had multiple sets, you could change up the configurations, or add to. Hope that helps.
