There were a few hiccups along the way while assembling this bed. One of the leg/screw assemblies that tighten into the slats broke off completely, my hubby ended up putting it back with liquid nail and we're keeping our fingers crossed that it stays put. Another screw completely broke while screwing one of the slats down to the frame. My husband luckily had some extra screws laying around and was able to make it work. The bed once put together looks great, but I'm skeptical about how sturdy it is.
