I had to have a handyman to put this bed together because it was too hard for me to figure out or put together on my own & my husband is just too busy with work.  It also was scratched & missing a part so we had to run to the hardware store and improvise with other bolts, and the handyman had to come back a second day.   I just couldn't spend the time and energy to return it.  That said, the bed looks like an expensive beautiful wood bed in our mid century modern guest room - and my guests who come visit all comment on how beautiful and sturdy the bed is.  Just make sure you have all the parts and nothing is damaged when it arrives.
