Love this bed. One star off for quality control 1. A screw that was unusable do to it having a flat tip 2. wooden items that have more than a few splinters. As another reviewer mentioned a power screwdriverdrill comes in handy. Which I have. I found assembly to be easier than other beds I’ve assembled but I have a bit of experience. It is beautiful and sturdy once assembled. Purchased as it doesn’t require a box spring for little girls who occasionally roll out of bed. My little girls are super excited for me to throw a mattress on so they can sleep cuddled together on their new queen bed)
