I only assembled it yesterday, but Im amed by how sturdy it feels, and what great quality the materials are. Im a heavy guy (340), so I was/am worried about the wood slats breaking. So far they feel really strong, and dont even squeak or sound like they might break. Im hoping to say the same thing a year from now. I was also very pleased with how clear and easy the instructions were. It took me a few hours to assemble it, but thats mostly because I did it by myself, it was heavy, and I took a few breaks. Also, I discovered the ratchet after I had already installed 2 of the sides. The ratchet is a game changer Use it! So much easier to assemble with the ratchet rather than the Allen wrench. I probably would have finished much sooner if I had used it from the beginning.
Ill probably update this if anything changes, but so far I am very satisfied!
Incredibly sturdy and well constructed
