I like the final product. It looks nice and is pretty much exactly what I was expecting.

The construction, however, was incredibly frustrating. Many screw holes were filled with what appeared to be black, melted plastic. I had to bore out the screw holes before I could get the screws in. Many of the screw holes are also very poorly drilled. Some screws I could use my fingers to screw in completely, others I had to leave halfway screwed in because no matter how hard I tried, or how many times I removed and reinserted the screw it would not go in. Several of the screw holes were also hidden behind fabric that I had to tear open to reveal them.

One of the main metal bars that runs underneath is bent, and as such the screw holes are out of alignment and ultimately I couldn't fit two of the screws in because of it. The instructions are poorly labeled. On the first page it says "Back View" when assembling the headboard, but the diagram actually switches from both the back and front views with little way to discern which is which via the drawings. And last but not least, it doesn't look like it is easily possible to take it apart if you want to in the future. The wooden boards that go under the mattress snap into place with little plastic pegs. I don't see a way to remove them without breaking the pegs off.

All of these little things resulted in me sitting on the floor, wrenching as hard as I could, putting screws in, taking them out, questioning whether or not I had the right parts because some things were so hard to fit together, and ultimately being incredibly annoyed and dissatisfied.

The manufacturer seriously needs to work on the "finishing" details of the bed frame. Everything I needed was there, but much of it was drilled wrong, hidden, covered in melted plastic, or bent.

I would recommend finding a similarly priced product, looking at the reviews and see if they're alright and giving them a shot. Because, I promise you that it is unlikely to be as frustrating an experience as I had.
