1.) need a better tool to put together, like a mini ratchet quick tool. not everyone has a driver with the right head.
2.) the middle pieces that have the metal braces on the end were all bent. i had to pull them into useable shape to put together the middle frame.
3.) BE CAREFUL WHEN ASSEMBLING AT FIRST! you need to use the right size bolt with the mini washer first and the big washer second on all the bolts. If not, you will drive thru to far into the wood and ruin your frame!
Overall, I am glad I purchased this frame. It is attractive, the right height, and heavy duty. But I just wish I was better prepared because it took me a long time to put together. The small washer with a big washer on each bolt is a new one for me. but it works.
