High quality, easy to assemble, sturdy...smells good.
I had to wait almost a month extra to receive this bed but its ok, it was for a good reason. The delivery service (Manna-Awesome delivery company, by the way) called and informed me that the bed had been damaged in transit and so a re-order had to be performed. So nice of them to be honest instead of delivering damaged stuff. Delivery folks were clean, professional and polite.
I was able to put this bed together by myself in about 40 minutes, and I do stuff like this somewhat slow and methodical (IE: I read the instructions). I did not find any aspect of assembly to be difficult but I understand what they mean in some of the other reviews. I recommend tightening the side rail screws at the end (as recommended in the instructions) because when you install the slats, it kind of squares everything up nicely.
So far I do not see any reason to screw in all of the slats. They are all connected by a cloth anyway. The slats (all five of them) in my previous bed were not screwed down and they never moved out of place.
The only negative for me was in the slats. There were two stapels sticking out of them and I got poked by both of them! In addition, the slats are not completely sanded and you can get a somewhat gnarley splinter from them. Oh, and some folks may need a bit of help in carrying the slats as they are all connected together by a cloth strip and may be heavy and ungainly handling for some...
I am very satisfied with this bed. It looks really nice, and is sturdy, the wood is a nice hardwood. They did a great job on the wood stain as well.
