After reading extensively through the other reviews, I went ahead and ordered this knowing what the possible problems could be (drilled holes not lining up and middle support too short because of facing legs the wrong way when putting together). I could always return it I figured.
Mine arrived perfect. No scratches, no mismatched holes, and I found the directions easy to follow especially with the tips from the other reviews. I set my pieces out and lined up my numbers before screwing anything in to ensure I wouldnt realize an earlier mistake at the end and have to dismantle the whole thing! I found that helped me visualize too. All in it took me about 25 mins (but 5 mins of that was unpacking and laying the pieces out on the floor with my five year old daughters assistance!) and I only needed the provided tool. I was nervous about the wood slats from other reviews and while they dont seem as rock solid as the frame, they are slightly better than I expected. This was purchased for a full size mattress for guests and overall I am extremely happy with it and would purchase another in the future.
Great for guest bed
