Instructions were pretty easy. Holes matched up. However the headboard is very hollow. There isn’t any support in the headboard for one to lean back. The back also came slightly damaged. Also being that everhthing is wood. U cant lean back on the headboard unless your d is against the wall, because the headboard stands are wood. Just gotta be careful. Its not a bed for longevity.if that’s what you are looking for then that’s not it. I don’t mind it. But I do wish the headboard had a solid strong support as well as the headboard legs. I have a metal bix spring & my bed is 11 inches high
