Alright , let me start by saying this was a pain in the butt. The only thing clear on assembly was the letters on the wood, and the hardware numbered. If you are shorter than 5’5 might want some help holding the top boards while you screw-in the bolts. That said, I did manage to get it put together.
Not sure why the the top boards didn’t come with dowels since there are holes for them but only 16 dowels provided. It would make it more sturdy for sure. Wood is pretty crappy and one bolt/screw split the board, so I put that board at the tippie top. Definitely not for your kids to climb on. After you, read the directions and then re read them it’s not too bad to put together. They are worse than ikea. Took me about 2 1/2 hours.
Next , the mattress frame boards do not come with pre hole marks for placement on the frame. Dumb. It says 300 mm apart at this one section. I suggest looking at the pictures of the product and scrolling down till you see the mattress frame. Then line up your boards like theirs and forget the directions.
Find yourself a different Allen wrench. The one they provide either has to be the dumbest thing or mine came broken. I’m giving it a 3 because it was such a pain but it does look pretty darn cute and it’s low to the ground. Definitely a good starter bed for toddlers.
Good starter bed
