ASSEMBLY TIP
For those who think the middle bars and other slats are too short, here's what you're doing wrong. When you go to put the middle bars in, don't push one end all the way up against the bed frame and then screw it in on only one side. If you do that, it won't fit the other side no matter what you do. Instead, position the middle bars in the center of the frame, not flush. It won't look or feel at all sturdy yet, but it will after you put in the screws. Now put your screws in on both ends and screw them in just enough until the thread catches in each end. Now take turns screwing one side a few turns, then the other side a few turns. In this way, the screws' threads will pull the middle bars tight and they will fit just fine. And once the middle bars are tight, the other slats will also reach across. I was on the verge of calling customer service when I realized what I had done wrong. I hope this saves someone else the frustration of thinking they've wasted their money.
