The but? Its a bear to put together by yourself. As a 70/year/old woman, it took me a few hours to get creative to assemble this bed. It is very sturdy, so I dont think thats an issue. The instructions were par for the course / lots of pictures and screws going everywhere. All parts are numbered with stickers. All parts are wrapped in plastic for protection. I made one mistake in the center joint and had to unscrew two screws to put another on, but all in all it worked out okay. All parts were there. The metal is very nice. No scratches or dents. Putting the platform bars in are a struggle. I used a soft cloth over the end and tapped with a hammer, which worked fine. Its good value for the money. Matress arrives next week. Now I need an extended nap. What a workout! Needs.
