After a year and 9 months it was time to move. When the mattress was removed, it was obvious that without major modifications this bed would never be reassembled. All of the supports that have the drawer runners were destroyed on the corners, and could not be refastened without bolting strips of wood to them, and drill new holes through the rails to refasten. The corners where the rails join were in similar shape. Not worth the headache to repair. I think if the slats were not in a channel, it would have collapsed. The black finish scratches very easily. I would avoid.
