Gas struts under bed storage
We lifted the bed and apparently locked out the struts (?) - tried to close the bed against the force of the struts which resulted in the wall attachment at the piano hinge pulling free from the wall and splitting the cheap 1X2's used to attach to the wall. After overhauling the piano hinge frame, I noticed the gas struts are very hard to collapse (270N). Thinking about going to a lower weight-rated strut. Any thoughts?
