The pros:
The kit came well packed. The instructions are clear and the assembly is pretty straight forward.
The cons:
The wood is very basic quality. When assembly is complete the slats have some movement and I had to insert some nails to hold the ends in place. I also had to caulk and paint the gaps at the end.
Proposed improvement: Adding a foam in the vertical grooves of the frame would push the slats to the center closing the gap and prevent movement.
Good value when compared to other options
