This could have been a complete disaster!
The material itself is very good and everything went together as anticipated except for the vertical slats. It was quite obvious the slat was sized just a fraction larger than the openings in the cross rails. It required a lot of hammering with a wooden block and a rubber mallet. As a result, I lost the equivalent of two cross pieces in length as the vertical slat would buckle and then require the end to be cut off. There needs to be a greater tolerance to enable the slats to slide through the cross pieces.
The finished product is good but shorter than intended.
I would not buy this again unless changes were made.
