The bed arrived earlier than I expected and in good condition, but I had to write this review after I calmed down. There were no assembly instructions and putting the bed together was trial and error. I could easily figure out where the parts went, but it was the assembly order I had trouble with. Not only that, but there were no pilot holes to fasten the feet to the base. I unfortunately do not have any power tools and this part was particularly frustrating. I won't go into details on how I got it accomplished, but I think I would have made a sailor blush with the language I was using. But now that all is said and done, the bed is a good buy. It looks a lot more expensive than what the cost is. If you have patients and a little knowledge of how to put together furniture, this bed is for you. If not, skip it.
