I love everything about this bed system, however, a couple of days after I assembled and my daughters got into it for the first time, I had 4 of the bolt heads snap off somehow, leaving the threaded shaft still in the hole. I intended the bolts with the Allen wrenches provided by hand and not with a power drill. I am pretty concerned that more of this will happen, and will potentially cause a failure of the bed of some kind while my girls are in it! Not to mention it will now take a good deal of work to back the bolt shaft out of the threaded hole using an extractor then look for new better replacement bolts. The bolts provided seem to be pretty cheap pot metal bolts. Has anyone else out there experienced this? Is there a way I could get replacement bolts?
Any help would be appreciated.
