One last cup. Just to get through the afternoon.

Today was not my day. My bed that's been serving me for the last 20 years or so gave up the ghost a few months back so I had to order a new one. I'm too tall for standard beds so it took a while before the custom one I ordered arrived. It came today.

1. It was also today that I was informed I'd have to put it together myself. Took almost the entire day. Whoever thought that saving on screws and forcing people to put beds together like Lego except everything keeps falling apart BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY FUCKING SCREWS TO JUST HOLD THAT SHIT TOGETHER is on my shitlist and I sincerely hope they get every kind of cancer known to man.
2. The two parts that actually had screws in them were so convoluted to put together for absolutely no reason that I considered just not using them for a few brief moments (the screws, not the parts).
3. The bed was supposed to come with a manual. It did. With half of the manual. For a different bed.
4. Most of the parts were so damn heavy. As if the fact that everything was so eager to fall apart wasn't enough. Imagine trying to do any precision work with the bits you're putting together weighing about as much as an old CRT.
5. I dropped one of the side panels on my foot. Twice. At least I didn't break any bones and I don't see any swelling so besides hurting like hell for a while I think I'll be alright.

On the plus side, while some parts of the frame don't exactly inspire unshaken confidence in me most of it seems damn sturdy and the mattress is so flippin' soft it feels like quicksand when I lie down on it. I'll have to get used to it.

Yeah, so that was my day. This thing better serve me till the heat death of the Universe because I think I'll murder someone just to get out of putting together another one.

At least after that you can lay down. Its the small things

Dude, DIY bed frames are fucking AWFUL to put together, especially by yourself. Pretty much requires you to balance parts on your outstretched legs/feet to keep them in place while your putting parts together if the screws are even slightly raised off the ground (which they always are).

At least it's sturdy and the mattress feels good. It'll be worth all your effort

I guess it's time for a modding scene to emerge. It would've been so much easier if I just went with fit a part in->drill a screw in to hold it there. Probably would reinforce the bed further too.

I can't recall the exact name of the pair I ordered for my bed when the frame started to brake, but I just said "Fuck it" and got a pair of the platform ones.
Nothing to assemble, just unbox, unfold, latch them, and you're done. I think I paid 50 bucks for a pair of them. Just Google platform bed frame.

Not the ones I got but you get the idea.
I never did care for a Foot/Headboard anyhow

Huh y'know I'd have never thought of putting two of those together like that

Yeah.
The only thing I did was line them up and take some clamps to hold them together.
One in the foot, head, and middle. Simple as

I've only used them singularly. I still have one setup now for whenever I have friends over

Fair enough, this was out of necessity.
Mind you, I was fairly broke at the time and well, you know how much a real bedframe is for a queen size bed? Fuck all that noise.

I would have had to buy a new head and footboard because the bedframe was my grandparents.
It was literally the definition of "they don't make them like this anymore"
I think the thing was over a hundred years old when it was given to me. But Time has a way of destroying everything. Believe you me, I took damn good care of it. But over a hundred years of being slept on will do that to a frame

Like you said earlier, headboards and footboards (especially footboards) aren't the be-all and end-all.

I know what you mean about necessity too. My last mattress lasted me until the springs literally dislodged and rolled around freely inside. I'm now using a mattress a friend's relative was giving away for free, and my late mother's bed frame (I could have used her mattress too, but no matter how strapped I was at the time, I couldn't bring myself to do that).
