Instructions are good lumber is good quality lazar cut parts are accurate the only real complaint I have are their rail stanchons they are flat stamped brass and really cheap looking I always get new ones from caldorcraft.

I noticed that about the stanchons, they don't look very sturdy. What did you replace them with?
