Seriously, such a perfect bed! I read a lot of the reviews on this frame before purchasing because my new mattress is 14" thick and heavy so didn't want to put together a bed and have it fall apart soon after. It took about 3 hours to assemble with two people but wasn't difficult or overly complicated. The instructions come packaged with the frame and they could be a little more detailed so just pay attention to the pictures provided not just the steps listed because that helped us decipher a few misleading words. After assembling everything feels really secure and strong! I ended up not purchasing a box spring because of my mattress thickness and went with a bunkie board instead which allows to see more of the headboard above the mattress.  The acorn color matches the photo almost identically and looks really expensive in person. Overall I'm extremely happy with this purchase and would recommend!
