I ordered a bedframe. Just a simple wooden double bed with a slat base. It came in two boxes.

I was impressed with the manufacturing quality. All the dowel holes were the right size and in the right place. The screws were all there, and fitted the screw holes, which were also in the right place.

And then it came time to fit the headboard to the long rails and to the footboard. And the holes on one leg of the footboard were the wrong way around (instead of parts 8 and 9 we had two part 8s). And.......... the footboard was 6" narrower than the headboard.

Yes, they'd managed to ship us one box for a 4'6" double bed. And one box for a 4' "small double". And the wrong box also had a wrong part in it.

Sigh.... waiting for the correct box to arrive....
