Good sturdy bed, but some assembly issues/mistakes
Good sturdy bed so far!
Some assembly issues:
1. The large board at the foot of the bed was drilled backwards, but we made do.
2. Two pieces were missing pilot holes during a crucial end step, and the particle board was far too thick to use a hand screwdriver without them. We had to nail in the holes in ourselves (at a very difficult angle!) This should be clarified in the instructions.
3. The instructions (though usually clear) were sometimes ambiguous about how to orient the pieces.
4. Instructions say 90 minutes to assemble. It took us 3-5 hours.
