We really love this bed frame. If you have ever had a bed frame sag in the middle with two people on it you will know the pain your neck and back feels in the morning. This bed fixes that issue and looks damn beautiful while doing it. The only minor issues we ran into was some of the stapled together boards bow a bit and need a bit of persuasion with a rubber mallet to get the dowel pins to fully seat in their respective mating holes. The other issue I ran into was the threaded hardware likes to strip itself on a few of the insert nuts, I couldn't figure out why it ended up doing this but I just ended up not securing two of four the bed slats that ask to be secured. No big deal but I would like to know why this happened.
