I sincerely love this bed but here are the issues I had:

1. Not all of the holes lined up: this made it very difficult to put together. I read some reviews and they had assistance with their assembly. I was able to put it together on my own but I totally understand why extra hands are needed. 

2. Some of the wood was too short: some of the wood pieces that hold up the mattress itself are falling to the floor. Luckily there has only been a couple of them but still it is a pain for what I paid. 

3. The bed is lower than anticipated: this is not on the manufacturer, that's on me. Just pay attention to the pictures so you don't get something that is way too low to the ground.
