I've read the other reviews here, I would say this is a quality bed for the money, was easy to put together by myself and all the holes lined up. I do agree that the instructions to install the piston arms are not that clear, the trick is that they line up at an angle not horizontally, I worked this out without instructions. I am quite good at DIY however. It's great for storage and the finish is nice. My only criticism is that the Ottoman could open a little bit higher and the screw on feet are small and plastic and would dig into your carpet, I opted to leave them off, or you could just get some feet coasters to spread the load or replace with better ones.
