I would have given this daybed five stars if the instructions had been clearer: (1) There are no written instructions but only illustrations with arrows that don't always clearly show how the pieces fit together, (2) Not all of the hardware is contained in the hardware box.  16 missing dowel pegs that are illustrated as part of the assembly process were found to have been preassembled, (3) The wooden blocks for spacing the slats are a hair longer than they should be, which causes the slats to be slightly too far apart without enough room for the last slat if adjustments are not made during assembly; it would've have been extremely helpful if it had been noted that the slats should be spaced on 6-inch centers.
