How to hang the end and side boards on a bed have always presented a problem and is a common failure point in many beds.
The legs of this bed have machined in horizontal ledges for the side boards to rest on. Thus ALL of the load weight rests on a ledge. Not on screws in shear etc. [BTW.. houses are built with this concept everywhere you look]. Thus none of the load weight is felt by the hardware. Zoom in and take a close look. I've never seen this very clever idea on a bed before. More than that, I will not buy a bed built any other way in the future.
Trust me, this is the best offering in a wood bed you're likely to find. FWIW.. I'm an engineer.
Leg design makes this the bed to buy !!
