[QUOTE="greenwillow, post: 61110, member: 644"]Hi, I bought a nice arts and crafts oak bed off of Craigslist tonight. When I got to the seller's house, the bed was already dissembled. The connectors that hold the side rails to the headboard and foot board are the oddest things I've ever seen. I'm at a loss as to how they work. There is a movable "lever" on each of the connectors.
