What are the slats made of and how many are there? How do they connect to the frame?

They are wood slats that fit into plastic ends the bed is very sturdy ! I have to girls 18 and 21 in full size beds. I can remember how many slats but a sufficient amount

They are a plastic composite, extremely sturdy/solid and attach to the frame by way of a grommet, if I recall correctly. I bought two frames for my daughters and have had no issue with either frame. I am actually considering buying one for myself as they seem to handle my size (6-2, 225 lb) no problem.

The slats are made of wood and there are 13 , I have no boxspring and they connect in the middle and on the rails by plastic fittings, however, they included 1 metal peg that attaches to the middle rail to help with load bearing,my floor is hardwood and the bed collapsed when I was laying down (I'm 220 lbs 6'1) it collapsed several times so I had to put cinder block under the bed, and it's all good now, kind of a pain but it looks great in my city loft for the price. hope this helps, -Justin

I can go home and count how many there are, but they're wood slats, they connect to the frame by plastic connectors that pop into pre-drilled holes on the frame to told them in place. The way they're connected is super secure, the plastic is thick and sturdy, and the arch of the wood slats is comfortably springy without cracking or snapping. This is a platform bed, so it's intended to not be very springy. I have zero complaints about mine!

Does not include slats. They're not needed either. The rails have a small lip on them which a box spring will fit on.

The slats are 2-1/4 ins wide and the gap between slats is 4-1/4 ins approx. The slats are connected with a couple of fabric tapes, I think this is to make laying them out easier, rather than for anything structural. If you cut the tapes you can probably put the slats any distance apart you want. I think only three or so of the slats are screwed to the frame, the tape keeps the other slats in place, again you can screw them in wherever you want, I followed the assembly instructions. The slats are standard wood, you can probably get more 'slats' at a DIY store. I see one person said 2 ins apart, I took the mattress off and measured mine, they were 4-1/4 ins approx.

We went to hardware store and just cut five more slats and it supports everyone. No clue on metal frame. Tha ks

No, it comes with slats that you nail on. I don't know the exact number, but they hold the mattress well.

Yes, that's right. There are 13 slats for each bunk. These 13 slats are connected with a ribbon of fabric, so they "roll" out as they are placed on the bed frame.

There are 13 slats in the base in either side for a total of 26. The slats, like I said in my review are the only downside to this bed because they are unfinished and of cheaper quality so they cause squeaking.

The slats are wood, and the rest of the frame is metal. The area covered with leather seems to be solid wood, as well. It is a very solid bed. After about 9 months of 'breaking in', it needed re-tightening, and has been super-solid without any creaking or movement since. Highly recommend it.

Slats are fastened to the frame. Probably a good idea to have two people working on it as it's not the lightest thing around. :)

there are 26 slats-13 on each side-very easy to assemble and no problem supporting the mattress.

There are wood slats. It does not have a solid wood platform. But overall it feels more solid than the metal frame

It is slatted. But the slats are fairly close together making them sturdy. I have laid on the bed without a problem

They are definitely dead bolted in. Very secure! Slats are provided for mattress/box spring support once they were in place the frame was steady and firm. No bed frame needed. I had to make sure myself because my son was going to have to get used to having a full size bed. Funny thing you would never know it was once his crib. So worth saving the crib.

Can't answer about the slats right now but I use it over a memory foam mattress support

Slats are metal bars, I have a pretty thick mattress on mine so it is still comfortable.

The slats come pre-screwed into the base. Assembly was really quite simple and not too time consuming. I assembled it by myself.

There are 13 metal slats that fit easily into brackets and then need to be bolted into the brackets. We didn't receive the bolts though with the package so we just used zip ties for stability.
