The middle rod supporting the bed was about 12” to short which made it impossible to connect and tighten flush on both ends. Luckily my son is 10 years old so fingers crossed it’ll hold. I followed instructions very carefully and it’s not my first time assembling furniture, but oddly I had screws left which I checked and rechecked and was still left with extra. Definitely bad purchase even though it had great reviews. Extremely disappointed but for this price I’ll live with it.
