Step 9: Reinforcing the MIddle Support
Over the past couple years I noticed that the weak point in the construction of the original IKEA bed was the two legs that hold up the middle support.
The original pieces were much thinner. They were probably 1"x3" pieces so, i decided to replace them with 2"x4" pieces. I also turned them the opposite way.
I also decided to add four utility shelf brackets (2 per leg). I felt the would help stabilize the leg without adding much weight or bulkiness.
