I previously purchased two Gabriel platform beds and needed a third. Iopted for this Carlow upholstered version. Bad choice. I was spoiled by Gabriel's incredibly detailed instructions complete with letter codes on the parts themselves. Carlow's instructions were pathetic. Clearly they never gave a test customer a bed to assemble to "approve" the assembly instructions. Examples: there was no indication which side of the headboard supports accepted the bolts. The pictures of the parts sometimes didn't match the parts themselves. And the font size was inexcusably small.  There was no ratchet supplied to tighten the bolts. I'd rather assemble a 6 burner BBQ while blindfolded.
