Cute bed but directions leave room for improvement
Not sure how so many reviews said this thing was easy to put together. The bag of parts it came with doesnt match up to the parts list (missing one type of screw altogether and then have more than necessary of a different kind). The diagram goes step 1, step 2, step 4, step 5. I have put together a lot of furniture and never struggled like this. So I am going to try to figure out how to put this bed together with what they sent and just hope it works.
Updating my review as of 11/26: to my pleasant surprise the parts that came with the bed were exactly what was needed. So my advice to anyone would be to mostly ignore the terrible instructions and just wing it. I didnt know which screws to begin with (came with two types, while directions said there were three types) so I just used the ones they sent more of and saved the pointy ones for last. The only thing the instructions were useful for was telling me the layout of the wood but even then you will need to look at the stickers on the wood to see which goes on left or right. All in all it took me about 3 hours to put this thing together and it is very sturdy. The wood is smooth and nicely finishedno need to worry about splinters. My son is only 6 months at the moment but the bed will grow with him and looks really great in his room. Bought a 5 inch mattress and it is perfect height. Will post pictures as soon as we are finished decorating his room.
