We were happy with the bed frame, headboard and footboard were in good shape. What we were disappointed with were the pieces of wood that are the supports on the frame. Two of the four were in good shape. It is the other two that we were not happy with. They both had a few splits in the wood. My husband used wood glue to hold these together and then wrapped the pieces with black tape. We did this so we could put the bed together and use it. I feel there should be better quality control with all pieces that are being shipped out. We like the bed but a little disappointed.
