This bed seemed to be a good deal.
It came with no instructions. No problem, i figured out how to put it together.
During assembly, 2 of the threaded collets that the bed sides connect to fell out. This is when i realized that the purdy wood was a laminate over some very soft wood.
No, problem, I drilled out the hole and ran a big lag bolt through it. Solid as a rock.
My girlfriend gets on the bed. CRACK!!! one of the slats breaks, on closer inspection, it was a very soft piece of wood and it cracked on the knot. No problem. Some glue and some wood strips screwed to the top and bottom, fixed.
Then, we felt frisky. 2 minutes in, the sound of jumbling wood grinds us to a halt. I look under the bed, 2 of the central legs have ripped themselves off of their bolts.
Whipped out the box of 3 wood screws. fixed.
long story short, this bed is very cheap. i never thought id say this, but im tired of screwing on that bed. er. You know what i mean. Look elsewhere.
Not worth it.
