Saved by the clarity of instructions and ease of assembly. First, the designers need be congratulated for considering assembly requirements during design. There is a clear consoderations of user/customer requirements and experience, as both the process and the instructions made assembly a doodle. On the other hand, the quality of workmanship and in particularly the paint job could be improved considerably. Some of the wooden cuts were a few mm off, and the paint was not uniformly applied on all cuts and sides. As this was not a cheap bed and to purchase either, the above shortcomings are highly unsatisfactory.
