This bed is awful. Shoddy, uneven finish in the espresso color, fading in some areas, lines where you can see the veneer/finish edges. Pilot holes are all out of whack, one wasn't even drilled through all the way. Either the wooden dowels or pilot holes are literally all different sizes, some are loose and some are literally impossible to get in, they are too big, or the holes are too small. Directions are confusing and seem like they are made for a slightly different version of this bed.
