This is a lovely bed! It looks and feels much more expensive than it really is.  It has three wooden slats that go across the bed and get screwed in (Drill was necessary for this).  There are supposed to be 4 screws that attach the legs to the headboard but the package came 2 screws short so I had to go to home depot to buy matching 2-inch screws.  I like that the legs are the same fabric as the rest of the bed (some similar styles have black legs).  I purchased a Casper foundation and mattress and they fit perfectly.
