Oooh, I love this bed. Beautiful, simple, elegant.
But also a pain in the rear to put together.
The instructions are very straightforward and easy, but I came across two big problems as I was putting this bed together.
1. On one of the pieces, a bolt hole hadnt been punched all the way through. Imagine a paper hole puncher that hasnt quite punched out the circle all the way. It looked like that.only .which was a bummer. I knew I could get it out, which I did, but it took some muscle and patience. If this happens to you when you get your new bed, grab a phillips screwdriver or ice pick and a hammer or mallet, and punch out the circle yourself. Dont just give up and send back the whole bed! You can do it.
2. The pieces of the werent all quite sitting square with each other, which was very frustrating. It took me a long time because a few of the bolts just wouldnt line up with their holes. I eventually got it after a lot of trial and error, though.
The whole process took me about 3 hours, and I am a young female. Help would have been great and probably would have made the process quicker, but hey. Thats okay. Im laying in a super comfy bed right now, writing Reviews. Life is good.
Elegant and sturdy!
