Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had to read the 1 star & 2 star reviews to see why they were disappointed. So, I was missing a couple of parts, called the # provided. The people there were very courteous and knowledgeable about the bed, and the replacement parts arrived in less than a week. As for putting the bed together; I'm not what you would call mechanically inclined and I suffer from many disabilities and yes it came in many pieces. I strongly advise doing the parts inventory at the beginning of the book first. Read the assembly instructions and recheck the parts. I did all these things and looked forward to exercising my 66 year old brain with this 3 dimensional puzzle. I only ran into one problem; one of 4 bolts would not advance further than 2 twists. I swapped it around until I found the hole it would work in and the other bolt I withdrew fit perfectly so it all worked out. Admittedly I am an old man and my physical abilities were being stained, my muscles getting weak, and my resolve was in question. So I was grateful when that was resolved. After it was put together, I went back and hand tightened every screw and bolt. I am impressed with how sturdy this bed is and as I am close to 200 pounds, the bed neither squeaks nor creaks. Looking at the bad reviews I am left thinking that they did not ask for replacement parts and tried to work with the defective parts and or did not read through the directions before starting. One man who gave it 1 star complained of the metal on metal slats and the noise it made when having sex and suggested a solution. THE solution is the plastic clips that snap into place above the slats...he either did not read the instructions or do the inventory. If an old disabled man such as I could do it?
