    A little extra doctoring, and you can have a nice bed

    First I have to admit, I bought this bed from another place. They offered ship to store. I could pick it up at my convenience. I will say, the instructions leave a lot to be desired. They do have some good info tho. They tell you which way something should go, and how to tell the difference between top and bottom of certain things. Ive read literally hundreds of reviews on the Prepac beds. The good, the bad, and the ugly. There were also many helpful ideas on making it a better bed. I used some of them. After I built the bed, according to the instructions. Except, I got some of the cheapest 1/2 window foam I could find. I put this in the back of the rail channels, to help keep the slats tight and hopefully quiet. Then I put wood glue all around the inside seams of the drawers. This was to hopefully keep the bottom from sagging. After I made sure the bed was square (drawers open and close easily and arent sitting at an angle), I put corner brackets around the top, just above the slat rail. I used 1/2 6 wood screws to attach these (that way they wont go all the way through). I did this for sturdiness. Someone suggested to do it around the bottom too, but Im too lazy. You have to pull the drawers out and lay all funky. I may do it later, if needed. This bed comes in 3 boxes. People have commented that memory foam mattresses dont like platform beds with gapped slats or wires. So, I took the largest box and opened it up all the way. I placed it on the slats. I then screwed it to the slats. I used the screws that came with the corner brackets for this. Figured screwing it down would make the slats and bed sturdier. Havent put the mattress on it yet. Were not officially moving into the new place for a couple of days. As of right now, I really like it. If something changes, I will come back and let you know.
