Uncle Bob® Pack of 1 Replacement Bed Slat 4ft6 Double Sprung Wooden Bed Slat 53mm Wide

The product is perfect, but perhaps I didn’t understand the description. I thought it was two prices at 6ft but it was two at 3ft each. We made it work for our project.

I’ll set the scene, it’s 3am and I’m snoring away, only to get woken up by the wife falling through the bed. I didn’t know slats started to straighten over the years, only to bow the other way, then give way and you fall through the bed. Needless to say, the wife found this out. Now normally I wouldn’t laugh but this time I did. Let’s face it, it’s pretty hilarious. That silence and peacefulness to be broken by someone’s derrière hitting the floor followed by some choice words and me giggling like a schoolgirl. To the rescue comes the addition of new wood slats. Perfect size. Perfect thickness. Perfect length. Stay with me it’s wood. I’m not sure what else I can say other than these fit into place and hold firm. She’s not fallen through and sadly I’ve had no more giggles that are so worth the lack of sleep. No altering has been necessary. Fully recommend if you want to avoid hijinks at 3am.

Fits perfect delivery on time

I had issues with my slats which kept coming loose as they were not sized properly from the bed company and so would occasionally fall out. These ones I bought have pretty much no movement between the holders which is just want I wanted (double bed). They are pretty thick as well. Was offered complimentary cutting to size but I didn't need it. Does what it says on the tin! Shipping came earlier than expected! All in all, very pleased. If any more come loose I will be coming back for more!

Having ordered uncle bob bed slats before I would say that I have a previous understanding of the product and was happy with my first order hence the reorder. However that happiness of the product was short lived and this second order completely sub par for the below reasons; 1. The poor packaging of the item which led to some of the slats being damaged in transit. 2. The dodgy workmanship of the slats themselves - poorly cut, wonky lines, fraying edges, unfinished product on one side of every slat, and poorly constructed over all with layers coming apart - all before they have even been used so I really question their integrity and ability as a bed slat for which I can’t currently comment as they have only gone on the bed in the last hour however my expectations are not high due to the above mentioned reasons. 3. Not technically a product issue however the courier chosen by the seller, Hermes, left my parcel if you could call it that was left on my drive way in plain sight for all and sundry to see and potentially come and pinch and then I would be without said slats... not entirely sure what option I would prefer them to be stolen or a poor product I seem to have received. Some will say why didnt I return them - simple answer really have had them before had no qualms over quality order them and need them for tonight thus don’t have the option to return ! One thing is for certain following the complete shambles of this re order Uncle Bob slats are no longer a viable option and potentially a one hit wonder ! (lines on the slats are my own markings to adjust to size)
