Hello ,

Gonna break in on this post. How sturdy are the rails after you atach these type of rail brackets? I was looking at loose tenon and bolt anchor setup for my rails but would rather go with these fasteners myself. Is a king size bed and must be sturdy.

Not very, in my opinion. I'd recommend bedbolts, which are extremely strong. Not sure why you'd need a loose tenon.

The loose tenon was an idea I saw in another bed plan that I had. Combined the bed bolts and tenon. I think it was so that the bed rail would have no side to side movement.
