The bed seems sturdy, and assembly is straightforward. It was packaged well, and all the parts were present and in perfect condition. The material appears to be of good quality. All the holes lined up as they should. The slats have countersunk holes set at an angle, which not only makes the screws easier to screw in, but also makes it less likely that the slats will split -- I though that was a nice touch. The only tool you need for assembly besides the provided allen wrench is a phillips-head screwdriver. The instructions specifically say not to use power tools -- they do not want you to over-drive the screws. But I used an electric screwdriver on the slats anyway, because there were a lot of screws. Just understand that these screws dont need to go in very tight. They are there only to keep the slats form moving around. Spacer blocks were provided to make it easy to get the right slat separation. That was a nice touch too. There is more room under the bed than I expected, which is great for storage. You can slide foot-high boxes under there with room to spare. Or foot-high monsters, I suppose.
Completely Satisfied
