Photo is two of the dowels to put the bed together with.  The longer one is the correct size.  No spare dowels (or bolts or screws) are given and the short dowel was useless.  The wood was dinged in multiple places and one piece had a hairline crack that got larger when it was connected.  The bed seems sturdy enough once it was all put together, although at the top headboard there is a gap where it connects to the frame.  Tried to tighten it up but to no avail.  I’m very disappointed in this bed, but my son is happy so that’s what really matters.  Just beware this is not terrific craftsmanship and this is the first time a company failed to include extra hardware.
