UPDATE 21021 the below happened AGAIN at the foot of the bed. The plastic slat connectors are too fragile. I need to super glue them in place next time. Will be emailing customer service and notifying them of this defect. 

I absolutely love the way this bed looks, but unfortunately the way its made is subpar. After only having it built and used for a week, the plastic pieces holding the slats together by the headboard broke. This was during nighttime routine with my little one. I wish the manufacturer had the frame built more securely so the wooden slats arent solely supported by the plastic inserts if the bed frame shifts a bit. Otherwise, my daughter loves this bed (she’s 3).
