Unfortunately this bed is not a quality product. First of all, some of the holes in the footboard were not properly drilled, so the pegs connecting the side rails didn’t hold, and the footboard cracked slightly, I did my best to make that work. After installing the horizontal “supports” I installed vertical slats that I bought separately (after realizing the bed did not come with slats). After less than a week of use, the horizontal slat on the footboard cracked straight through, and with it a piece of the side rail supporting it. Do not recommend.
