Abysmal instructions & poor attention to detail made this a stressful assembly. None of the wooden parts have any labels / numbers or anything so you have to go by the instructions, which are bad - only pictures so no words to assist, the print quality was poor as well which didn't help with some of the (already sparse) detail. Worse - multiple parts were not drilled correctly or where things needed to go was ambiguous- it took maybe twice as long to assemble. Centre plank - this (I hope) sits along the middle vertical plank that holds the head and foot ends together - The plank is longer than those it sits on... but the insturctions indicate it is the same length, I've guessed it needs to be equal end sticking out. Instructions indicated using 3 screws down the middle but there were no pilot drills. The foot end part had no hole drilled on one end of it. The other one was unfinished (not countersunk). Some of the slats were not drilled, or not all the way through. The holes for the headboard (several, on a pattern to match a metal bracket which fits between the bed base and the headboard) were drilled on the outside, not the inside (where the bracket should mount) of the side rails. these were several holes that a metal bracket fixes to, and there is no other way the rails go around (one side is the outside of the bed, and the other side has a recess to allow the slats forming the bed base in it). So these holes are visible, and I had to work out / clamp the mounting etc. to get the headboard on. For the headboard there are some black screws? these are not usual wood screws with a countsunk head and I assume these are for the headboard where they mount to the metal frame - instructions have pictures of the same screws as the rest of the build - not even coloured black, or a note. You just need to guess? Does nobody assemble these at home? To be honest, I'm still not 100% sure this is built properly as it creakes rather more than I'd like when getting in / out of bed. I ordered 2 of the underbed storage options - mecifully the instructions were quite a lot better and I think there was only one part that wasn't drilled properly. In all - if I'd known how the quality issues before spending a few hours assembling this, (after removing my old bed, of course) I would have sent it back. For around £1K things should be properly finished, and the instructions should be accurate - this was like all the things people hate about flat pack furniture. It looks nice and it's comfortable to sleep on, but next time I'll go to Ikea.
