The bed legs do not need protectors. The legs come protected.
One word of advice on assembly: There are no instructions, just diagrams. The diagrams are plentiful enough, just be careful. For example; When assembling the bed ends make sure the unused holes are facing inboard, and regarding the end safety rails, make sure the ladder holes are in the right place. Otherwise the ends might need reversing.
The bed is strong, brown not black, but that's okay.The hardware kit is amble and two Allen wrenches are included. Nothing else is needed. Again, do not tighten bolts until assembly is assured.
I laid the parts out on a concrete driveway and worked slowly. Once the ends are assembled, move to the room where the bed will be. Assembly took about 4 hours.
Assembly in 3-4 hours but worth it
