Been reading reviews, main concern is the slats. Alot of people saying that the connectors and slats are weak, break or come out easily. Still Issue?

I've had mine for a year & a half and haven't had any problems. I even moved & had to take it all apart & re-assemble

The slates are held in place by small plastic clips that warp. I've not encountered the point where the slate have broke... But the nights where my girlfriend are over the slates mysteriously fall out, every time.

My wife and I have slept on it for over a year, and none of the slats or slat joints have any visible damage or wear. In fact, we moved to a new place a couple of months ago, and I inspected everything before reassembling.Plastic joints do seem a bit flimsy, but they aren't designed to carry weight, but only to keep the slats from sliding.

No issues with the support slats breaking or coming out (I'm under 170 lbs, lady friends weigh significantly less).

I like this bed. After a year I have had no problems. But I have a foam mattress and am considering a getting a new mattress which may be heavier. I'd like to know if anyone has had problem with a heavier mattress.

Actually we had a problem with one of the rungs breaking at a stress area. Unfortunately when we asked the manufacturer whether or not we could have a replacement board, the only thing they would do was replace the whole chair! After taking a while to put the thing together we decided no way would we take it apart again. So what we did was remove 2 of the slats. One that was broken and one that is in an area that does not get a whole lot of weight put on it, like the rung just below the top. We wood glued the broken one than put it where the non-broken rung was removed then put that where the broken one was. And so far, no problems! Hope this helps!

Bed is great. The only problem is the two pieces of particle board that they use for the main support. We just found out during the week that it is starting to break so now over the weekend we have to go switch out the particle board for real wood.Other than that we haven't had any problems with the bed. Its not like its a metal or normal frame that moves, so you don't get any noises from it. Drawers pull out without any problems and noises as well.

Oh it requires much more that.....the slats it comes with are very cheap and if yo crack one forget it. I still wouldn't trust the frame supporting anything without reinforcing it with a 3/4" piece of plywood or sheer panel (which I did) cut to the inside dimensions of the bed. Lowes will do this for you gratefully and with a smile on their face. They're the best. If you don't do this you may run the risk of....."Mommy, Daddy !!! I've fallen through and I can't get up" I've had zero problems by doing this. It was a cheap remedy. Also FYI......The paint job is iffy at best.

I've had this bed for about 6 months and have not had a problem with the slats at all however when I first put it together the center has adjustable legs that raise and lower the center of where the slats come together running from head to foot of the bed which I lowered to make it more comfortable and it has been very comfortable and no slats have broken

Yes. I too had a faulty unit; the cutomer sercive is OK, but damaged wood slats and ratchet assembly. Weston sent replacement slats (1/2 drum), but it was used, it has a varnish/coating on the wood I will have to sand off.

Can't answer about the slats right now but I use it over a memory foam mattress support

the mattress has alot of support we added another slat for extra support. i do want to mention we put the mattress on a log bed that we purchased for a home we have in lake tahoe. with the extra slat their is no sagging. the bed and support system is excellent.the mattress is great and it is extremely comfortable.

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.

I am quite pleased with mine. It has more vertical supports than others ... we had another foundation that was very similar to this one prior to ordering this one. This foundation has the outside vertical then 2 spaced evenly, whereas the other only had the outside then 1 in the middle. I don't notice it creaking or any noise. The slats are all nicely cut and built correctly. We did add some additional screws just to add more stability, but they might not have been needed. In comparing this foundation to the one we had previously, it is much much better and it was half the price. I'm not positive on the air mattress thing, but it works great for my latex mattress.

I have one pkg/2 slats on my queen size bed and it works perfectly. It feels very sturdy. Much better than the 3 wooden ones that came with the bed. I don't think we'll be breaking this one lol

Well, we went ahead and bought the bed, but unfortunately, after owning it a month, one of the support slats broke while my husband was sitting on the bed, reading our kids a story. Thankfully it was not the top bunk. We will be replacing the slats it came with using proper 2x4's, and replacing the bed relatively soon as well. It was apparently too cheap to be good.

I've had no problem with this desk at all. the roll out portion seems to be fine. I use this desk as a nightstand that holds my computer a very large monitor and the pull out part holds the keyboard and mouse and i stash my glasses and remote control at night. it's a nice desk.

I was skeptical about the wooden slats too, me being 300+lbs was nervous even getting on. months later, holds great extremely comfortable. Don't think a metal frame would match up & or fit in there instead of the wooden slats. No box spring needed. I really like it.

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

The slats seem to have been improved since the reviews that report that they are weak and splintery. The ones we got were well made and covered in a felt material. We didn't have any problem with the product.

Strangely enough I moved my friend's cal king bed using them. It was really easy and we didn't even use them correctly. The bed will seem really low to the ground unless you properly use the middle hook for our heights.Cover the bed with some junk sheets just in case, but I had no issues. Ez
