First and foremost I was very impressed with the packaging, labeling of the parts (minus the drawer hardware) and the instructions. It did take me a very long time (I attempted by myself, not suggested) to assemble. I still havent finished the drawers, I had to stop for a sanity break. The slats were not great. Some were warped and several were not long enough to adequately screw into both ends. I was very happy with the solid wood of all the pieces. I had a couple minor issues that I decided to just address with gorilla glue vs attempting to get replacement parts. The crack pictured was minor and should not affect the integrity of the bed. Overall I am happy with the bed. It will not be something that is used very often. For the price I think it was well worth the purchase.
Happy overall despite some issues
