The bed itself is fine - but the instructions for putting it together are hopeless. I'm used to the quality of IKEA instructions, with very clear illustrations - if a piece has pre-drilled holes in it, for example, they are pictured. The instructions with respect to the gas filled struts and lifting hinge are particularly dire, with the drawing bearing no relation at all to the pieces of ironmongery! My son in law put it together because he does skilled jobs like fitting new suspension on his van but it does need more skills than simply following a step-by-step instruction (in the IKEA style). My son in law is very busy and I'd prefer not to have had to ask him - but although Get Laid Beds advertise a "deliver to room and assemble" option, which I wanted to choose, it's not a bit clear from the website, where this option is mentioned, that it's only available in a few parts of the country. Having failed to find it on the check out I had to telephone to find out - a waste of my time and yours! I'd suggest that GLB employ a good graphic artist and somebody who can write technical stuff, and save us a lot of frustration! I didn't phone up about the assembly problems as I had somebody to turn to. My mark for customer service includes the good quality of the telephone answer I had (though it was not the answer I wanted, it was prompt and clear) and the awful quality of the written instructions.
