I used an additional 22 wood screws more than came with the product since the maker cuts cost by only giving the bare minimum number screws/bolts to hold the thing together. More than half of the slats are held in place by a fabric ribbon and can rattle if not secured in place. After securing all the slats to the edges and the middle the thing is rock solid. Also one of the slats had a patch of black mold on it although it didnt appear to be water damaged, I applied bleach to it to kill it before installing the mattress.
Soild bed, manufacturer skimps on hardware
