Need extra support for middle beam. Also the headboard slats were damn near impossible to line up.
Its super lovely. Im very happy with it. The only issue I have is actually a potentially serious one if you have pets that like playing under your bed. The support beam in the middle is not lined up very well. The footboard has clear pre measured holes for a good alignment but the headboard has nothing at all. So what we had to do was measure and kind of guess as best as we could. A month in I got into the bed and felt a shift like it was going to collapse. The middle beam being unaligned became the issue I was concerned about. I had to put a couple cinderblocks with some extra support in the middle beam in order to prevent collapse. I also removed the plastic nubs underneath the wooden supports so that they would be flush with the flooring as opposed to be subject to whichever imbalance the support had due to the lack of proper measurements on both the head board and foot board.
Other than that I love the look and feel of it. Just make sure you are ready with extra support in that middle beam. Perhaps the company can provide better guidance and foresight on that front. The headboard by the way was nearly impossible to put together. They definitely need to make that easier. Those slats were so hard to line up perfectly. They just wouldnt stay in place. I needed another person to pull it off.
