I really love the look of this bed: agree with the look of West Elm for a fraction of the price. However, it took me hours to assemble. The screws to attach the headboard wings to the frame would not go in. And, the wood supports on the bottom did not have pilot holes for the screws to attach the slats--so I had to drill them myself which was annoying. So, would I buy this bed again? Yes. Would I pay for the assembly in the future? YES! I recommend it for this item (although I usually do it myself!)
