The slats for this bed are so poorly designed. We read that memory foam mattresses would work for this bunk bed, so we ordered some new ones. We put this entire bed together, installed the slats how the directions said and then put the mattress on. We had our daughter try it out and her knee went through the slats with her mattress. So we then tried it with her spring mattress and it completely sagged through the slats…now well have to buy expensive ply wood to be able to support their mattresses. Also, 90% of the wood pieces came with dings and scratches and cracks in the wood. I wish I hadnt ordered this item…the quality is very disappointing. I guess you get what you pay for…
Slats do not support mattress!
