The bed arrived Monday and thank goodness for a nice UPS man cause those boxes were heavy!. First off the bed was very well packed, not a scratch or anything ,looked great on the floor. Got it put together the next day and had to do it myself. Now I suggest having help as it is a bit difficult to hold some things like the side panels and get the screws in right.On the whole it did take me a couple of hours as I thought I could use my box spring with this but with the mattress on top of that I would have to get a ladder to get onto it.So I have the slats and my mattress on top of that.Now I have to get rid of the box spring!. The finished bed looks great. I love the legs nice heavy wood, and the fabric is very nice. I got thee beige and it is a nice neutral. Somebody else mentioned in their review to put the side panels together first then put them to the front and the headboard, much easier trust me as I did it both ways. Hah Love the bed and Wayfair.
