I didnt buy this through but wanted to review it.
If a 76-year-old woman can put this bed together alone, you can see how easy it must be!!
This is the second Prepac bed Ive assembled and I cant say enough about the VERY clear instructions (which include photos as well as drawings). In addition, the quality of the milling is excellent. All the holes are drilled precisely where they should be (unlike some other furniture Ive assembled from other manufacturers).
I would highly recommend the use of a power drill (the instructions say optional -- not optional for me!)
My only slight disagreement with the instructions is that I wouldnt insert all the JRN nuts into the inner gables and the stabilizers at the same time but rather as you work with each piece (or theyll just fall out before you get to them). But those are some of my favorite type of fasteners as they can be tightened well and provide sturdy connections.
You might also want to wear gloves while working with the slats as they are just rough-cut and not smooth, and one did have a small crack along one edge but not anything which should interfere with strength.
Kudos to our Canadian neighbors for producing good quality at reasonable price!!
Nice Canadian Product!
