I am embarrassed to admit that I recently purchased a bed frame from a local store that specializes in custom made maple frames and I completely messed it up! I had to assemble the bed. There were instructions included but I guess I thought I could figure it all out without reading the directions (that always got me into trouble in school).
I managed to assemble the bed frame - no problem! It was when I opened up the box that contained the slats that were to lay across the frame to support the mattress - that things went terribly wrong! The slats were all attached with heavy webbed strips. For some reason - that I can't explain - I got it into my head that the strips should be cut! So... I went about cutting off the strips that were firmly stapled onto each wooden slat. Fortunately something stopped me in my tracks before I had cut every last one and I decided --- hummm --- maybe I should take a look at those directions
