Why did this arrive missing slats? Help?

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.

Hello, I put mine into a king bed frame without the slats. Consider a regular king because I always fall into the crack of the split. I regret buying the split but they're great mattresses!

Mine were missing also, so was the hardware and the bottom was bent which prevented it from sitting properly. After many frustrating exchanges through email, I returned mine. I ordered this one through Home Depot: http://www.amazon.com/Holly-Martin-Saratoga-Portable-Fireplace/dp/B009WXNE22/ref=sr_1_19?s=furniture&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1414678951&sr;=1-19&keywords;=indoor+fireplace. It was perfect, easy to assemble and works well. I like the look of the former better, but it isn't worth the hassle.

Not sure of the question - we bought platform beds that apparently had standard slats (if there is such a thing and the bed is great RJD

There are 13 metal slats that fit easily into brackets and then need to be bolted into the brackets. We didn't receive the bolts though with the package so we just used zip ties for stability.

you don't need any slats. It is designed for a memory foam mattress to lay right over the top. It eliminates the box spring, I should have put this thing in years ago!

At first, when mine arrived I thought the same thing. Then I noticed, what I first thought was just some packing tape stuck on the end, was indeed the screws. Now if yours was not the case (i.e. the screws are indeed missing), then I would hope that the manufacturer would supply them if you contact them . If for whatever reason they would not send you the screws, you can purchase 2 thumbscrews at any hardware store. Hope this helps and enjoy the basket!

There are no slats with this design. On the inside of the bed there are a couple crossmembers & supports for 2 big sheets of PDF board that support the mattress. I've had no sagging or issues with mine at all.

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

Sorry we sold this just a couple of months ago so can't tell you...but I can tell you that we did not need more slats and it was very comfortable.

All I can tell you is we had no trouble putting the bed together and all the parts were included. If this piece you are asking about is missing then I would take this up with the manufacturer. I hope my reply helps!

These need to be screwed into something like wood. I suppose you could drill holes in your metal slats and them use nuts and bolts rather than the screws that come with these, but drilling the slats would be tough without the right drill and bit. You might be able to get wood slats if your metal frame has a channel for them and then screw these in.

You do not need a separate box spring. Support slats are included. I have had an issue with the mounting system for the support slats in that some parts were not shipped and double the amount of a similar part was included. They are shipping the replacement parts ... hopefully they will arrive today! ... I am figuring that if the support system is too weak (I am a big guy) I will go get a slat support system from IKEA and I will still be money ahead on other comparable beds. The frame itself is very sturdy. The slats may be the weakest part of the system ... but I will know better after I have been able to sleep in the bed. *** UPDATE *** The parts arrived yesterday. I installed the slats. The bed (I have the full-size version) is sturdy and solid, with just enough "give" to make for a comfortable night's sleep! It was great being back in my own, "new" bed! I have a big frame and I felt very secure and well-supported by the frame and slats.

Your local hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot. i would definitely call the manufacturer if you're missing pieces.

Mine didn't, but you might check and see if it's sold separately. I REALLY like my bed. It's pretty & I've had lots of complements on it! :)

It's hard to explain, but I bent the actual foam part and wrapped it around only 5 slats. The photos someone attached to the description page shows the foam bent.

We have a new mattress! That is not the issue! There should be side and foot boards like shown in the photos! The headboard is wobbly without them!
