I received mine with a broken support just like yours. I asked them to send a new one and they did, with gusseting on the sides much like the image posted above but in wood. It seems quite strong. I glued my damaged one and was able to use it for a bit, but am glad the new one arrived. Took about a week and a half.
Of course, now I am dealing with a very clogged nozzle after about ten prints.
As an aside, mine came with a spool inder the bed, not taped down.

In regaurds to the platform, I might eventualy fabricate a nicer one, but I wont worry about it for now.

Thought that was normal.

On closer inspection, there's a crack running along the wood bed support causing the droop.

How responsive were solidoodle on this issue?

Given the way it was cracked, I'm not even sure the spool could have been the issue.  It looked like the force came from the top, not the bottom where the spool was.
