Some disappointment with this order, firstly I was given the wrong information by customer services regarding the use of glue in the construction of the bed, and then when I raised this issue after the bed was delivered, there was reluctance to correct the issue. It’s not been corrected to date and I had to make adjustments as to how I wanted the bed set up. The Oak bed tenon corner joints cannot be tightened which means the bed now creaks when you move in the bed. Other beds I’ve constructed use a form of corner joint that when bolted together actually tightens the joint. I went for this bed because I thought it was superior and made in the UK! The draws have unsightly metal corners on our lovely oak boards, there must be another way to create a corner with the joint mechanism hidden. I think the price justifies a better-quality approach. There’s no obvious sign on the website of these metal corners. The black screws provided in the drawer kit are not wood screws, the gauge is too large, and split the wood, also the raised heads do not allow the boards to sit in the metal corners correctly. I used my own smaller screws. All of the pre-drilled holes in the drawers had to be redrilled as the screws would not go into the oak. As far as lining up the draw bottom boards, I had to resort to screwing them all to a temporary baton during the construction of the draw, even with two people it was impossible to get them to fit, without the extra baton. I would say a necessary tool for the assembly of an Oak bed frame, and drawer, is a good power impact/screwdriver.
