The instructions were poor. Some of the wood was warped. It was so soft that a rubber mallet dented the wood. The mallet was necessary to attempt to get the tongue and groove to connect. The thickness is too small to allow a simple connection at the top. Additional wood pieces are necessary to hold the hanging brackets. The spacers are too thin and don't allow for an internal pull without adding a headboard. Inexpensive, but not sure it is worth it. Look further.
