Ultimately a gorgeous bed. Pretty easy to build. You'll need a power drill for the center support beams. Both of the metal braces that are attached to the center support beams (the two smaller, perpendicular beams which attach to the side rails and long center support beam), were bent and appeared broken, presumably this happened during shipping. I was able to bend the metal back into place using the fork end of a hammer, and then bang them flat. A few of the black, plastic connector / holder pieces for the bed slats, came damaged as well. Although luckily none were damaged beyond use. Just some shards of plastic pulled off. Aside from the damaged pieces, this bed is really great! Beautiful aesthetic, the fabric feels extremely high quality and like it will last a very long time. Thanks :)
