I'm worried about the top of the bed getting stuck to the bottom. How do you keep the adhesive from leaking through?

Great point. I took some wax paper and stuffed it through the hole and hoped it would be roughly in position so that when pressure was put on, it wouldn't matter if the wax paper was in the way, between the 2 layers. Or, if the hole is small, then just apply glue only around but not too close.

There's no way to keep it from leaking through but it dries fairly quickly. We just left our mattress inflated for a few days before we put it away.

It might depend on how big the hole is. You could always pull it apart for a second while you apply the patch.

Hello, I purchased this item and have the same slipping problem. I have to purchase Velcro also. I've decided that a strip of Velcro across the end of the flap that goes under the mattress, then another strip that will go across the back of the organizer at the seam where the box part will hang down the side of the bed.I'm going to place the Velcro on the flat of the box spring so it will have a stronger hold. I think it will be helpful to have a second pair of hands for this job. I pinned the organizer in this manner, and I think it's the best option, I hope this helps you Tana

The top is meant to come on and off (if you wanted to store things inside). If you wanted to keep it on permanently, I would suggest using a glue gun or a clear epoxy.

I would go around an tighten all your screws. My bed is pretty solid. I put it together by myself with a weak shoulder. (FYI-I am a woman)

You need to apply the teflon tape in all thread joints and it will stop the leak. Good luck. Tony

I was going to suggest doing the same thing as Candyce mentioned (+1), i.e. they have a specific side, you can turn the bed around and "attach" the headboard either way.I didn't attach the headboard. I put felt pads to avoid scratching the wall, but the headboard, which can standup by itself, is squeezed between the wall and the bed frame.

I actually didn't use any adhesive. Lined my shelves and drawers of my china cabinet and have had no issues with it moving unless you slide something very heavy across it. Then you just straighten it back out and continue on.

I would bye a rubber sided tape and tape it to the bottom. That should do it.

Perhaps yours has the same problem mine did, and leaked some glue! It was very hard to turn it loose.

Hi, Just buy a can of Scott guard and spray the canvas bottom. And it will add protection from leaking. Follow directions on can. Will make clean up easier!

I had the same problem. What I do now..fill the blue bowl (I know, obvious) then place it somewhere firm, like on the counter. Put the bottom and tighten it just till it makes contact, do not over tighten, I use one finger to screw it on. Then press down around the edges of the bottom piece firmly so it slides on and then tighten the rest of the way. But again, do not over tighten, turn just till it makes contact. Hold it over the sink to be sure it does not leak. It will come off almost as easily. Had mine for almost 2 years now and no problems.

I haven't tried that. But I have had two of these under my bed for emergencies. They've been there for many months now, maybe more than a year, and I've had no leaks.

I had the same problem with mine, I actually ended up drilling a few holes all the way through and using a pin to keep it from sliding. Hope it helps

Mine comes off frequently (at the top). I've thought about securing it w Gorilla glue or grommets or something. A pain for sure.

It has a hard plastic area that holds it in, it's tight I don't believe there's any way for it to slip out from top or bottom its hold is super tight you have to work to get it out its that tight

I had the same problem as yours. But after I used Teflon tape as you did and let is leak little for a week or so, it stopped by itself. So hope it will happen to you also.

It's hard plastic so if something gets trapped under it I imagine it would do some damage. You could try felting the bottom or sheepskin I guess to improve the glide, however risky if your daughter leaps onto the bed and it slides away.
