Added 2x2s to support the upper slats. (5) 3 3/8 bolts and nuts/washers on each side. Added 5 1x6 slats and and 2 wood screws in each 6 slat on each side. The 1x1 support is a joke. I left it in place and went above for even more strength. Going to add more 2x2s vertically underneath the upper support later. Holding 260ish lbs solidly. Obviously not going to jump around on it.
Love it, but made it stronger.
