Whoever designed the manufacturing and packaging of this loft bed has a mind like a computer. A remarkably efficient package. There was not an extra screw or piece of packing material to be found. Every piece lined up without exception. Id give the directions a B/. If you have more than a thimble of mechanical ability you should have no trouble assembling it.
Cons:
The price jumps around daily. I pulled the trigger at 327.50. Ive seen it go over 600. I think its a good value anywhere in the range.
I did have two double threaded sleeves pull out of the wood. The threads are opposite on the outside and fit the attached screws (righty tighty) on the inside threads. I figured out by using a small screw I could replace them into their fittings easily.
Also, I did benefit from a rubber mallet assembling the large desk piece, and an electric drill installing the slats.
Rubber wood, this is the first time Ive heard of it or used it. Its soft like pine. Thats not a bad thing, its just not hardwood. for those who mentioned smell, it briefly had the smell of painted wood… Exactly what you would expect. Regarding imperfections, I found the product well manufactured and without functional or notable cosmetic issues. If youre looking for perfect drop 3000 at a retail store. Good Quality for Cost
