<p>[QUOTE="FWIW, post: 321772, member: 4571"]Picked up this vintage twin bed with swan carvings on it. Believe its mahogany. My main question is how to support the box spring/mattress. There are no interior ledges to hold anything. I see an indentation on each end of both the rails like something would slide in there before you put it together, but I have never seen anything that would work. There is a single screw hole on each rail near the center.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am assuming I am missing something obvious here, and hope someone will enlighten me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have googled it and can find the bed put together but nothing showing me what piece I am missing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advanced.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]107111[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107112[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107113[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107114[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107115[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107118[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="FWIW, post: 321772, member: 4571"]Picked up this vintage twin bed with swan carvings on it. Believe its mahogany. My main question is how to support the box spring/mattress. There are no interior ledges to hold anything. I see an indentation on each end of both the rails like something would slide in there before you put it together, but I have never seen anything that would work. There is a single screw hole on each rail near the center. I am assuming I am missing something obvious here, and hope someone will enlighten me. I have googled it and can find the bed put together but nothing showing me what piece I am missing. Thanks in advanced.
