A lot of assumptions are made in the manufacturing of this item, and tolerances are so tight that any burr or warp in the metal will cause you problems during assembly.
Chunks of powdercoating flaked off while shoving the headboard pieces in to the vertical posts. Several of the lock washers exploded, something I’ve never seen but must be made of some not very durable metal. The metal will indent if you overtighten due to how thin it is.
The process of putting together this queen frame took about twice as long as a fancier king frame from another manufacturer did just days prior, and I’d say the king is far more confidence inspiring than this one. Last point/suggestion, the legs will scratch your floor. Put down a rug or put felt slider stickers on the legs. Perhaps a better idea would be to use rubbery stay-put stickers instead of sliders. 3M makes a product like this that I discovered after I put felt sliders on. Thankfully this is just a guest bed.
Not the easiest or cleanest assembly
