We actually have never attached this particular piece - At our old place there was a ceiling fan in the way so we never got around to attaching it (my girlfriend REALLY wanted this bed). I've figured the missing piece might be contributing to the trouble, but maybe I've been underestimating by how much. Thanks for this - I'll get this fixed first and see how much it helps.
The wax definitely helped! My next thought was that some of the slats are SUPER tight fitting, so sanding down the connection points a bit might alleviate some of the tension. But I'm concerned this might create opportunities for movement which could work against me :) Alternatively I could physically screw the slats down to just minimize the movement entirely. I've got some work ahead of me this weekend...
