I should have paid for someone to come assembly this because it was a mess trying to put it together. The wooden slats do not come with holes, so you have to make the holes yourself. There isn't a pre-drilled hole on the sides of the beds either, so you have to space the wooden slats out yourself and hope for the best. They do not hold well as the slats started to warp within a few months of having the bed and I felt a dip in the mattress which cause back problems.
