Do I put the legs on the center support rail or directly on the slates? Both slates and support rail are wood.

Hi, the bed leg has a rectangular plate abut 2 inches by 2 1/2 inches with a screw hole in each corner and that fits nicely on to the slats of our bed which are 2 inches wide.. If your centre rail is 2 inches or so wide then you could fit it there too. The leg has a good range of height adjustment, so it would work in either place.Oh, I used two of these claw legs positioned equally across the bed width on a single slat in the center of the bed, this made the bed very stable.

I placed them on the 2 end and 1 center support in the center of each slat. This was the recommendation from Simmons in order to comply with the new warranty. Its very easy to install and took a matter of minutes

I put them on the slats. My bed did not have a center support rail. You should be good with them on either.

place the support where it is needed the most, but keep in mind that wood rails could warp with continuous weight and other parts of the wood rails not supported will give. If your side slates are sturdy I would place it in the center support. If they're not sturdy, I would place one in the center of each slate. hopefully this suggestion is of help to you.

I did not put plywood on top of the slats. I got a good mattress and the bed is really comfortable. Since the closely spaced wooden slats are essentially the same as having plywood, I don't think another 1/2 inch of wood would do anything. This bed frame is not meant to have box springs. I've been very happy with the bed frame.

The legs are made of wood. I think you could connect them to a wood platform bed. To do so you would have to either drill screw holes through the legs and the platform frame then use either screws or bolts and nuts to attach the headboard

The legs are solid. Probably ash, but with veneer. The doors and paneling are most likely MDF with veneer. Understand your desires and I was in the same boat but eventually settled for this one on price vs. solid/custom wood and am pretty satisfied. Its done well and not a cheap veneer. Expect it to hold up pretty well.

I not using on rail so i can't answer your question. However, if you are looking for solid piece, you might want to look somewhere else.

Four legs and yes on center support and rails. Very solid bed. A good buy. Enjoying it.

The finish on top and bottom rails are flush. In theory, you can pre-drill holes and use threaded bolts and nuts to connect one on top of the other, but that won't give you the lateral rigidity as a single unit.

There are notches in the top rail to hold lumber vertically. However, these sawhorses are pretty flimsy and scoot around while you are trying to saw. Sent mine back.

Assuming you have an ikea bed frame you have to also have the metal support beam (have to buy separate) the slates just lay on top of the beam and the lip of the frame

Placing your studs 16" on center will allow you to much more easily attach the plywood later. It is also the only way to fully support the plywood, which is critical. I learned how to properly frame 16" on center from this guy... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VwXv3x_5k8

You will need either a box spring, platform or a piece of plywood. I have mine on a box spring and I feel that it's too springy.

I was not able to use my wood side rails. You will have to use the rails provided . I just used a dust ruffle and you couldn't see the rails :)

It is plywood rails that you mount to the wall first and than slide panels on top of it. Not an easy task if you are not handy, but it looks awesome with platform bad. You can have a great modern looking bedroom on a budget.

For the middle and bottom shelf, the support is just around the edges. But for the top shelf, you put a 2x4 diagonally across from top of the lower left leg to the top of the upper right leg. (You can screw it in place, but I didn't.) Then you add the top surface (I used 3/4" plywood). The 2x4 fits into slots on the leg pieces; it is installed so that the 2" edge of the board barely touches the plywood top. The workbench seems really sturdy to me; we have been using it a lot during our house remodeling project and I haven't noticed any sagging or flexing at all.

My rails are wood. I must be careful when Tightening my unit. I have not had a problem so far. I take it down in the winter. I would not hang something really heavy from it.

I put mine up on rail road ties. Served two purposes one made it taller and two rail road ties are heavy. I hammered re bar through them to make sure they didn't move. Another solution might be to get a few bags of quick Crete concrete from home depot and burry some metal anchors with it to attach the legs to. Hope this was helpful

I ordered the metal support frame with mine, it works fine except the side legs are too close to the edge, very easy to stub your toes...and very painful.They really should have recesses the legs on the frame. I would think a regular box spring would work fine too.
