This arrive pre rusted. The round parts of the head and footboard don't completely connect and you can see a rusty band in the middle. both the head and foot board came damaged and bent. There is about 100 screws to put this together it took us a few hours. This got backordered after we had bought it and it took forever to get to us and we didn't want to bother with returning and ordering and waiting for another one to arrive so that's the only reason we kept it.
