The box arrived today and all of the wood slats are the same width. Is this okay? Instructions say wide & narrow,.

I had the same problem. The slats all looked the same size. I put it together and it looks fine. The only problem I had was that one of the bolts was missing. I went to a hardware store and bought a new one. It isn't the same color but you can barely notice it.

I had the same problem but that is just the first of many. The slats are OK being all the same size but the drill holes on one of the three bars that hold the seat together are in the wrong place and I could not finish the glider. It is still sitting in my living room not finished. Not even the seller could solve the problem. I would not buy it again. The parts are defective for assembly and I don't know what to do. I definitely would not buy it. Send it back......

Same thing happened to me. I think they changed the manufacturing spec, but not the description. It assembled just fine with slats all the same, and I personally think it looks nicer, much more park bench-y. Dunno if their decision was based on aesthetics or because too many customers couldn't handle the wide/narrow thing and assembled them wrong. The very top slat of course is different, but that's easy to see.

Yes, they are all the same and it does work out. We love ours even though it wasn't as pictured.

Your are going to need a box spring or at the very least a piece of plywood cut to size . If you have or get a box spring you will need at least 5 slats ,if you go with plywood you may need less.

Most of the slats are 1" x 2"s with some being narrower in the leading edge and at top of the seat back. Plenty of support for the slats. I'm well over 200lbs and felt very comfortable. I would suggest sealing the wood and be prepared to replace a few screws broken during assembly. Still a good value and would purchase again.

it depends. if you have a regular spring mattress you're good to go. the slats are about as far apart as they are wide. i have a memory foam mattress and would have needed a box spring but opted instead to buy a large plywood slab the size of the bed.

I bought this mattress for my son who has a platform bed. The bed had wooden slats as the platform, which I didn't feel would be strong enough. We bought 3/4 inch plywood and laid it over the slats.works perfect.

Just measured mine. Slats are 2.75 inches apart. I have a 6 lb. dog and she doesn't come close to fitting through. Hope this helps. I love this gate.

I used these three metal slats to replace broken wooden slats on a bed that sounds similar to yours. I left in all the other wooden slats that were not broken. I can't imagine only having the 3 metal slats as support. I feel that the bed would sag and create back pain.

We have the 5 inch. 4 slats may cause some discomfort. We had 10 slats and didn't notice the slats. I would use more slats or a box spring for the most comfort.

As far as I know, everything is the same except for the dimensions. One problem I had with my Queen Size Kit, was the dimensions for the placement of the struts was off a little, enough to make me have to reposition them, which was a real pain, as I had the bed mounted to the wall. I called the company, and they said that happens sometimes, and told me what to do. Other than that I loved it, and am going to make another bed, only this time it will be a full size.

The slats seem to have been improved since the reviews that report that they are weak and splintery. The ones we got were well made and covered in a felt material. We didn't have any problem with the product.

I would call before you open. I ordered full and width dimensions were right but I don't know if they package queen size differently.

The one I have has slats set in a heavier square frame with a central support. These have plastic non skid feet on them. I can post a pic. Its more a like a tiny futon platform, if that makes any sense?

The thickness of all slats are 7/8 inch the width varies to match the frame curve. This is a great swing.Bill OHara

The slats alone might pose an issue - I did not try it once I saw how far they would be spaced. I placed a plywood board from Lowe's ($12) on the slats to support my memory foam mattress and it works great.

We have ours over a piece of plywood which works well but i think wooden slats would be just fine if, as one of the reviewers said, they are fairly close together.

Chandramohan , I built my own frame out of 2x6 . The box springs and mattress rest on top . I also screwed the frame ( head board, foot board and both side rails ) together because they kept coming apart . Now it is one solid frame. After a lot of doing this and doing that , it is finally the way I believe it should be. If I had to do this over again I would probably just buy a bed from some place like Rooms to Go and let the store employees deliver and put the whole thing together and leave all the work out of it for me.
