Great product, loving it! Thanks Assembled this by myself between cooking dinner and assembling the bed it took me about 3 hrs to complete lol. The headboard and footboard were the hardest to screw together. I had to do it by hand and there are no female screw threads embedded into the wood so it will take some effort to screw into the fresh wood. After assembling the head and footboard things got a little easier. The center of the side railings are in two pieces that attach to the center support legs. I dont fully trust them, when I moved the frame the two pieces that made up the side rails began to bow. Tightening up the screws did not correct this. It only concerns me because if I ever had to move, it would take extra care to pick up and transport this bed. The slats that support the mattress are individual pieces that are screwed into the frame, this went really fast because now you can pull out a power drill and make quick work of this assembly. The predrilled holes in the frame did not line up with the slats, but its okay because you can drill into the frame very easily and make your own holes if needed. The support slats are not finished wood and must be handled with care or youll get splinters. I would recommend a box spring so the slats wont tear up your mattress because I think over time it will. Overall its a good bed for the price and seems pretty sturdy. My 4 year old loves it, it was worth it.
Honest review, no fluff.
