Lower door hinge is ideal, or loop anchor around a shoe or similar and close it behind a securely latching door. Or a heating register, or anything about half body weight or more. Tie to bed frame, then set up on top of bed...
Re the buttons, we’re sorry the stands sometimes arrive out of kilter from shipping. There are remedies. The holes are the same nominal size as the spring button heads. This means they are sensitive to angle of exit, not popping out all the way if they aren’t aligned properly inside. In shipping, the tubes can slide within one another hard enough to throw the alignment off, and some clips aren’t perfectly straight to start with. The remedy is to remove the clips to assure not twisted out of square, then re-seat to assure the foot is directly opposite the hole.
This should be a one-time fix for the hard knocks of shipping, with reasonable care in handling avoiding recurrence. Try especially to avoid dropping the collapsed tubes on end opposite the feet.
If that doesn’t resolve decisively, you can take a screwdriver or similar hard steel tool and gently twist in the offending holes to smooth out any rough spots along the edges. Drilling is overkill.
For what it’s worth, we’ve changed the hole specification in ongoing production to be 0.1mm larger than this first batch. Should make more tolerant of small misalignments, at the expense of a little more play. We’re also introducing plastic tube collars that should make more tolerant of the rigors of shipping, at the expense of slightly larger packed size.

I’ve done it a number of times without incident. You are not the first to speculate that it could damage the mattress. I guess... which mattress? I figure the stress is distributed on 4 feet comparable in surface area to standing on your toes on the mattress. Is that going to damage it?

Sorry about the double image.
First upload rotated the picture even when the picture was taken the right side up.

Editing the post i can see only one [img] tag that shows the right picture.
My apologies.
