These beds look great but it comes with too few slates to support the bed (see the before image). We bought memory foam mattresses for our boys and one of the slates broke day 2 when I leaned on it too hard, (190 lbs). Went to home Depot and spent 18 on additional wood slates and wood screws (see after picture). Much better now. The slates that came with it were 9 inches apart, now only 3/4 inches. Much better!
Need to buy more slates for better stability
