Nice bed! The only issues are with the assembly  the screws are packaged in a cardboard package with a plastic covering. Once you tear it open, you easily lose track of what screw is what! The instructions have black and white pictures and the descriptions dont completely match for each category of screw . My suggestion is to remove all screws and put each category in your own containers with labels. Also, the metal slats that go across to support the mattress are very hard to position, being the last part. It can be too tight. I suggest loosely connecting one side to the head board and footboard so you have a little wiggle room. Then secure it all when all slats are in place.
