I have a day off from work today and I’ll be spending it dismantling and then reassembling two beds.
I finished the beds and while I was putting the mattress back on one of them the wooden slats snapped. Now I’ll have to dismantle it again and assemble its replacement tomorrow.
Wooden stake from hardware store + rope + staple gun?
If this wasn’t the second time this has happened to this bed I would be tempted to repair it again. I’m going to demonstrate my contempt for it by chopping it up and burning it.
Is it an IKEA bed? The slats on those are crap. I’m sure there’s a way to cross brace it. Or even use a piece of plywood instead.
It was a donation so I have no idea, but certainly not an ikea one. The frame looks stirdy but the wood has a habit of suddenly and spectacularly failing.
