Treaton 0.68-Inch Heavy Duty Wooden Bunkie Board for King Size Bed (76") - Beige Horizontal Slat Design for Enhanced Mattress Support - Perfect for Platform Beds, Adjustable Bases & Mattress Foundations

so I ordered a bed from Wayfair and they cancelled 1 of the 3 boxes that held the parts of the bed. of course the one they cancelled was the headboard which just happened to contain the slats. so I’ve slept on the floor for over a month and then saw that they pushed back the date that it will be in stock again by another 6 weeks. so I decided to look for slats here. (Btw, I also tried the IKEA slats and they did not work.) so these actually arrived yesterday (3/26/2022) 2 days sooner than originally scheduled. I have a queen sized bed/mattress & the measurements of the slats were 1/2 inch shorter than I’d have wanted so it was a risk to order. But I was desperate at this point. once I opened up the slats I realized I’ll have to drill extra holes down the middle of 3 slats to screw it together with the center support beam that came with my bed. Thankfully I have a drill and all the correct components to do that. Also, that 1/2 inch difference meant I had to drill my own holes closer to the edges of the slats so that it could line up better with the side boards. It actually all worked out well. The screws I used were the ones that came with my bed. But they were screws you probably already have at home or can get for cheap at Home Depot. Anyway, after I put it all together it seemed really sturdy. I slept on it last night and it was such a nice experience to be back up high on the bed and also made my room look better. I just moved into this apartment mid Feb and it was the last thing I needed to make it feel like home. So that’s why I give it 5 stars! Only disclaimer I’ll give is that the wood for a couple of the slats weren’t as smooth so just be careful with handling it without gloves to prevent splinters.
