Great design, great product, not so great quality control
First of all / this is a great platform bed. I bought three at once, and while assembling it was obvious that it is a good quality, sturdy design. We have already slept on them and they were perfectly quiet, comfortable and everything we wished it to be.
However, out of three beds, two were missing pieces / most notably the self/adhesive black strips that are meant to be placed at the ends of wood (probably to prevent rubbing against and noise that could make). One was also missing the included hardware (the open wrench was missing). But most importantly, one bed could not be put together. One of the legs bolt holes just couldnt line up with the holes of the edge piece. I tried and tried, wasted an hour or more on that one piece, but it would not budge. In the end, I had to return that bed and order a new one hoping the new one would work.
Tips:
1. Use your own tools (metric hex keys with a big grip and one adjustable wrench is plenty) / the supplied ones are too flimsy and you wont be able to tighten the bolts enough which could result in a squeaky bed.
2. If you are missing instructions on how to put it together, I am including them here, just in case.
3. When tightening bolts, first of all, put them in loose, just with your fingers. Then with someones help, lift the two opposite ends of the bed off the floor, to relieve stress on legs. Lower it carefully on the floor, and then tighten more. Finally, go around and tighten the heck out of those bolts so the bed is quiet.
Enjoy!
