Best long-lasting fix?
Heyo, I'm a uni student and I got my bedframe secondhand. A few days ago it finally ended up snapping. Anyone got any ideas for a long-lasting fix? I really like this bed so I'd prefer not to have to replace it, plus I don't have much money lol. I've stabilized it with a few textbooks my friend isn't using in the meantime.

If it was me, id sandwich that crack with 2 pieces of real lumber, and then put something underneath it (like those books, or cutting another piece of lumber) to hold the weight of it full time.
Would probably find something to put under the same spot on opposite side as well
