Clueless on Bed slats
I moved into my own place, fresh start. I slept on a matress on the floor for a long time, and I decided to get a bed now (low budget). I feel really stupid and I'm not sure if what I'm doing makes any sense. I don't want to fuck the whole thing up and could really use some help. I have trouble installing and understanding bed slats. A lady in the store told me the bed is supposed to have a system to hold them in place. My bed frame is bare. I'm thinking about screwing the first and the last plank in place to hold the whole thing together - see red arrows in the picture. Is that an acceptable solution? The bed width is 140 cm. Slats are each 70 cm wide. They told me at the store you're supposed to get two 70 cm ones and install them next to each other. I don't have an accurate measuring tool to tell where the problem is, but there's not enough room to fit the two slats right next to each other, there's around a 4 mm overlap. I tried offsetting one of the slats, see picture. Is it gonna work? Is there a hidden risk I'm not realizing? Thank you for your time and any help. submitted by /u/Fancy-Leopard-3845 [link] [comments]
