I love the look of this bed, and overall was happy with the way it went together but we had some trouble as a few of the holes were not pre-drilled and some screws were missing. Also, the two center legs that attach to the cross-bar supports are flimsy and bent under the bed after only 2 nights of use. We've cut our own supports out of a 4x4 and since then have had no trouble. Nothing I wouldn't expect from a pre-fab bed such as this.
