The bed is stunning and I got it earlier than I expected. And for the most part I put it together by myself with a little bit of heavy lifting. Pay attention to the screws because there are two long screws that are supposed to be only for the legs at the footboard. I made the mistake of using the small screws and had to have my brother hold up the end of the bed to take them out. Other than that it's beautiful and the color is right down to the legs.
