Ikea always plays it safe. I've built this bed without help, it's fine.

    Same, though my wife did just break it hopping into bed last night.

    Screwing a 2x4 into the headboard to hold up the centre beam at 1am is not ideal.

    To be fair to the bedframe though, it has lasted us over a decade, and will probably last us a few more years if I keep adding screws when the IKEA hardware fails.
