Beautiful design, excellent hardwood. Major issues with construction. There is no way an inexperienced person could assemble this. My husband, a manufacturing engineer, had to modify nearly every single step. Drill holes weren't deep enough, slat pieces weren't glued, a slat arrived broken, and the drawers don't fit.  In his opinion most of the errors come down to the manufacturing process - the maker should be doing more thorough quality checks before anything leaves the factory.  In a well-run factory operators could get written up for such sloppy work. Once fixed and assembled the bed is very nice.
