Hi Jim, I measured the bed wood early this morning. It is 7/8" thick, 5-5/8" wide and 78-1/8" long. One end is cut across square while the other has a milled section on top that is 1-1/8" wide and approx. 1/8" deep. Six of the eight boards have grooves running their intire length. The grooves are to accomodate the edges of the steel rails. The grooves are 1/8" wide and the inside edge is 1/2" from the outside edge of the board. The remaining 3/8" is milled down about 1/16". The other two boards are for the outside positions where they connect with the bedsides. These boards have the same groove on the inside edge as trhe other boards, but on the outside they just have 1/16" milled portion that is 1-1/8" wide and runs the intire length of board. Sorry to make this so long. Good luck, John
