Can’t wait to see it.

Ok the day I’ve been waiting for. Here’s what I think ….
Quality: 9/10. Nothing is perfect and the only thing I would want and could see improving on is sealing the wood with sealant to waterproof it and make it smoother but that’s just me. The boards themselves are nice and straight and the material as best I can tell is great.
Assembly: 9.5/10. It’s a VERY tight fit. I needed a rubber mallet to smash it in. Now personally I can’t stand rattling and I don’t want a board, in the hopefully never event that I get into a crash, becoming a guillotine so I’m kinda glad the fit is so tight. However it is a slight pain so not a perfect 10. Other than that you can’t ask for an easier assembly. I really love simple effective design and engineering.
Usability: ??/10. Can’t say yet too early. BIG WARNING though: There is a gap. This is stated on the store page and in my OP. What I didn’t realize was the gap is vertical not horizontal like I had assumed. You can see it in the pic. It’s about 1”. What this does though is allow use of the seats normally otherwise the seats would likely not be able to recline at all.
With a thick enough mattress I bet you wouldn’t feel it. I have a 4” thick trifold I need to test and will report back. I have also seen a hack online where someone took one of the closed cell foam folding camping pads and bridged the gap on a similar product.
So far I’m happy but I’m easy to please. This fits my needs so far and for the price I think it’s worth it if you’re like me and don’t have the tools or patience to make it yourself.

Excellent. Thank you for the write up. Can’t wait to see what you think of the gap.

Also for reference of storage space that is a Jackery 300 on the left. A Jackery 1000v2 does NOT fit. I am willing to bet a 500 would fit so long as it’s even 1” shorter. That’s just a supplemental unit for me anyway my main unit coming is a Bluetti elite 200v2 with a charger 1 that is also coming. And will live in the passenger footwell. I guess that’s neither here nor there but wanted to provide a reference for what will/wont fit. More to come on that too.
