The beds are well designed and fit for purpose, but they are not quite as well crafted as I had anticipated, based on my one purchase. For example, why are there so many screws required when there is a tenon and mortise joint at every junction? If the tolerances for both were tighter, one wonders whether screws would be needed at all. (Dowels or similar instead?)
With respect to the screws, one would need to be Tarzan to screw those provided into the inadequately sized pre-drilled holes. I had to drill all these holes out to a larger diameter so that I could use a manual screwdriver. (Note that even my electric drill couldn’t cope with the original task.)
There are a couple of minor chips on the headboard panels near the cuts, which themselves are somewhat scruffy.
The bed once assembled is attractive, and I’m happy with my choices such as tapered legs.
One of the three boxes arrived one day later than the other two. For someone who had taken time off work to receive their delivery and start assembly (especially where one’s old bed has been confidently dismantled or even thrown away, this could be a nightmare. In my case I had to sleep one night on a mattress on the floor.
