Bed wood problems and solutions


Great write up. Although I'm not sure why you had such problems. I've installed over 10 beds, and although each has its set of problems, I've never seen it that far off. I usually have to give about 3/32 gap at the front panel then most everything else is workable. I'm not sure why China can't be more accurate either. It's simple stuff.
