is it on top of the bed supported with "wood slats" or one plate of wood under the mattress ?

It's two "plates" of particle board. I have three of these beds and so far they are ok I've had them since August. South Shore customer service is excellent. One of the boards arrived cracked down the middle and they sent another right away.

There are two sturdy square planks of particle board supporting the mattress. These in turn rest on the wooden frame. It is very sturdy. It is also better than planks as the solid board prevents any dust from above getting in to the drawers below.

One solid piece of wood (very heavy) with drawers underneath. My only recommendation if you buy this bed is to get a regular vs deep or pillow top mattress as that makes it really high and may block the headboard piece according to other reviews. We have not tried it. Also you can use a side rail if it is high.

If you are referring to the slats then I'm pretty those were made of plywood strips and I think the rest was coated solid wood. It has been almost a year sine I put it together but all in all I'm very pleased with this bed for this price. It is pretty sturdy I climb up there with the kids on occasion.

It's slatted, but sturdy enough that my 4 year could stand on the slats before we put the mattress on it.

I would probably put a sheet of at least half inch plywood on top of the slats for support because mattress isn't that supportive alone

It is a metal frame to support the mattress and then there are upholstered side panels to cover the metal. It is very attractive!

It all depends of where the bed needs support. If the spring box and mattress warp in the center you could probably place a piece 12" x 12" of 3/4 thickness plywood in the center underneath the spring box, but make sure a board of the spring box rests on it. If the mattress does not warp in the center and your spring box is firm, but your slats are weak you would have to place a support in the center of each one. hope this helps.

The best way is measure frame under the mattress, go to Lowes & buy plywood. The lumber department will cut the size you need. This will support the mattress. If you have a regular bed, I don't recommend using wooden bed slats. They're lightweight and won't support the mattress.

The full size bunky board I purchased was one solid piece. It is like a thin box spring, completely covered and no visual slats. I was ( and am) very pleased with the product .

No, it has wood slats, so you can just set a mattress on top like a normal platform bed.

It is a very narrow frame with very close slats and covered with cloth. It works great, came in one large piece for the queen sized bed and supports the all memory foam mattress. It does not creek or make noise. I used to have 2 pieces of plywood for support since I could not find this narrow bunky board. No problems and is perfect for foundation support.

I am not sure, but this mattress was bought for my toddler son's twin bed which came with slats and we just put the mattress on top of that. The bed is very comfortable, even for an adult.

It's wood but legs and slats are too skimpy (1x4 material) and to hold a person over 140 lbs in my opinion. I'm making a support frame of 2x4 for the middle under the bed.

No this actually has a solid sheet under the mattress. It is 3 pieces of plywood that sports it complete.

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

The (4) feet are definitely wood. As for the rest ... the structure is actually hidden behind the faux leather which covers the entire structure. So what's under that is unknown. There are metal side rails with plenty of support for the mattress. The bed is both solid and sturdy. I've had the bed since January 13, 2013. No complaints at all. It is very low, using just a single mattress.

Elizabeth, I have a wooden bed..we took the wood slats out and replaced them with 4 sets of these metal slats. We have a lot more support and our old mattress, feels brand new again. Instead of buying another expensive mattress..we just replaced the slats and added extra. We cannot believe the comfort in our mattress..and now we are getting a better night sleep. Yes..we have a boxspring, with a piece of plywood over the boxspring..this helps to save the life of our set..and it is perfect..we won't be mattress shopping for several more years.!!
