Installing wall lights

And look on free sites for unfashionable brown furniture which could be a source of wood for the pattresses.

Or even eBay. As an aside, I once saw an oak coffee table for sale there - it was about 1500 x 700mm, 50-odd mm thick, and it didn't have legs - had end panels of the same boards, which were stave jointed.

OK - it might not have been solid oak as advertised, but if it was, then for the price it sold for someone could have got 50mm full stave oak panels for a ridiculously small fraction of the price of buying them.

That would be a failure of the screw, not the hook.

No the brass picture hangers can be bent with finger pressure.
