Assembled the bed frame with my best friend. For lack of experience with putting furniture together, it was and is now an easy  fun memory for us. All parts were included (some labeled, others not), but instructions were very clear. We did run into an issue with 1 of the nails not wanting to tighten in 1 of the holes, behind the headboard. Thankfully the head board is adjustable, so we were able to use a different hole instead. Investing in a cordless Drill Driver kit definitely cut down the assembly time for us. Beautiful, unique bed frame. Hopefully, this review ceases any hesitation or doubts.
