I got this bed frame because I socialize reacue cats and I don’t want them to be able to hide under the bed.. one of the reviews said her son put this together by himself - he must have been a carpenter. I’m a savvy female (granted who’s small) but it took me 4 hours to do just the bed frame (alone). The holes didn’t match up so I had to use a drill. This is an INTENSE project to put together. To top it off the headboard holes didn’t line up so I had no wait to combine the 2. I’ll probably have to hire a thumbtack person to find a way to attach. BUT overall this is a decent bed if you’re getting it for the sole purpose of no under bed storage - there’s not many options.
