This bed is really nice, and designed very well. When it arrived, everything came tucked inside a pocket located on the back of the head board, and it was very straight foreward. Some of the screws you need to assemble it are already screwed into place on the pieces, so you have to unscrew them, slip another piece on, and tighten. With an allen wrench drill set (which I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend getting) me and my partner made this bed in under an hour!
