I love the way the bed looks, but was very disappointed in receiving a cracked frame. Let’s face it, they don’t care because we never return it. It was hard enough to bring up 3 oversized boxes, let alone repackaging a return. When we spend the amount of money we do on these frames, the least the builders can do is control the quality. 
It is not impossible to build solo, but you might want that one friend to help you hold pieces in place.
