I was trying to find a bed that wouldnt block my window. This one fit the bill and is also very attractive. The first thing I noticed was the packaging. It looked like an engineer had designed every single part to fit precisely in the box with a combination of bubble wrap, styrofoam, plastic wrap, and cardboard to protect it. There was no way anything was going to get damaged in shipping. The second thing I noticed was that the instruction manual was written using proper grammar and super easy to follow. I have often bought products in which the instructions were in very poor English, leading me to believe they were written by a foreigner who does not speak English and no English speaking person proofread it. The bed itself is very sturdy and designed to be assembled quite easily. It took about a half hour to take everything out of the box and tidy up the packaging materials. Another half hour to assemble. I did assemble the head board backwards at first. There is a front facing side, so be aware of that. The slats are about 6 a part and stand up so that the narrow edge is up. I recommend using a bunkie board. All of the holes lined up and we didnt have to modify anything at all. They provided extra hardware so that if you lose a screw, all is now lost. Speaking of hardware, it was packaged nicely too. Overall, I highly recommend the product. I think if I had to think of something negative it would just be that I felt the need to add the bunkie board, but really thats inconsequential.
Excellent quality for the money
