Wood slats are over 3"
I received my frame yesterday. Installation was a breeze (took me about 45 minutes). The quality of the frame itself is surprisingly good for the price. I am satisfied with everything except the wood slats. My previous bed frame is Malm, by Ikea and their wood slats are thick and have no bend. The wood slats included with the Zinus flex very easily and seems like it a kid can karate chop it and break it easily! No exaggeration. I wouldn't mind the price point being higher to have higher quality wood slats. MINUS 1 STAR here. Another disappointment about my purchase is that the seller claims the spacing between the wood slats are 3". I am not sure if I received the wrong wood slats but the spacing on my frame is slightly over 4.5" and in some parts, closer to 4.75". I bought a Leesa mattress to go with this frame and they said wood slats are fine except they can not be more than 3" apart. VERY disappointed with the seller being dishonest. MINUS 2 STARS here. I will contact them to see what they can do. If It wasn't too much trouble, I would return the frame but it looks like I will have to spend extra cash to purchase plywood to support the mattress correctly.
UPDATE: After a week of owning the frame, one of the slats already cracked on me. Very disappointed. I went to a local lumber store and bought 12 pieces 3.5" x .75" pine to replace the original ones. Amazon reimbursed me for the costs, so big thanks to Amazon for taking care of me.
