Took about 7 hours to build mostly due to some manufacturing imperfections for example the whole being there for the screw to fit into but it was not drilled to include the nut in the pipe despite most other pipes having that conveniently built in. There is a number on the unstru tons for missing or defective parts which tells me this is a known issue. By time the issues popped up I was already too invested to stop and I had the tools, drill bits, etc to make it work. But I am disappointed. After 3 to 4 hours to participate build I had to decide if I would break it down and return it or just fix the few error myself. I went with fixing only bc I had invested so much time and the materials themselves seemed to be quality parts. But disappointed bc it was close to being great. I especially liked the securing parts for the slats so I am confident in the end it worked out but how many people would settle for manufacturing errors though.
Quality material but poor manufacturing
