1. The bed looks very good and it is constructed well. The workmanship on the joints is not as good.  They 45 degree cuts were not as clean, so fit is not as tight. However, the bed itself is very solid.
2.  Putting the bed together is a challenge in that the instuctions are not sequential. It is not that difficult but it would be helpful to identify what to attach 1st, 2nd, 3rd.  This would have avoided assembling and dissambling in order to attach other pieces.
3.   It still took about 3 hours and I purchased to service to have someone assemble it. The individual only came with a small screw driver.  I ended up providing additional tools and assisting in the assembly. It is a two person job..  Also, an electric drill  is very helpful for all of the screws.  
4.  Now that it is finished, I am pleased with the final product.
