Gorgeous bed. Assembly was very clear and easy. Only thing I would have appreciate were some pilot holes for the support base. I recommend using a drill and not a screwdriver for those unless you want to kill your hands and spend hours doing what could be otherwise done in minutes. Read some reviews with issues attaching slats. They were easy, you just needed to line them up and lean into them with the palm of your hand. My one tip would be to ensure all 3 black pieces are on first (easy to put on if you slide the slat in from the side) and then work from the top of the bed down. Over all very pleased with the quality of this bed. The upholstery is beautifully done, with clean seams and no pulls or buckles. Would highly recommend.
