Wanted a quality product . Nice wood. Handsome style.
Comes as 50 wood pieces, 64 bits of hardware, and a hex wrench.. Some assembly steps were hard/comedic for one person: 1) Putting the second end of the headboard pickets in place was hard as the headboard top and bottom pieces arent 100% square, so putting one end of a picket in typically pulled the other end out. Solved by using packing tape to keep the top in place while getting the bottom in place. 2) For the bed rails, it took a minor miracle (again, one person) to attach them to the headboard and footboard that had to be upright while unattached to anything.
Had trouble with a couple of bolt-cross dowel pairs, and those couple are not totally firmly in place, but seem ok. The hex wrench is a miracle tool; really easy to get the bolts in. The cross dowels were much easier to work with than a the one set weve had that came with a teak patio table,
This is a great foundation for our new US made mattress in a box.
Great quality for the $
