Bed is really nice and the design is quite thoughtful.  This took about 1 hr. 45 min. for the hubs and  I to put together.  Instructions are easy to follow and they even have a Q code that you can scan and it will bring you to a video for instruction as well.  All parts fit in the headboard which is nice in case you ever need to store away.   Wood slats bow to help with mattress support.  The mattress suggested is 8 inch but mattress shown in my pictures is 12 inch and fits nicely.    Very nice product and I would purchase again.
