I can’t say enough about how amazing this bed is! The instructions are clear as day and all the parts are clearly labeled making putting this bed together a breeze! I think the most time consuming part was opening and unpacking from the box. Total time from unboxing to completely assembled was about 45 minutes to an hour with just me putting it together. Once the bed was together, first, it’s absolutely gorgeous! And second, it’s extremely solid! We had our last bed frame/headboard for about a year and decided to upgrade due to the loud, obnoxious squeaking just from rolling over in bed at night. There is absolutely no squeaking coming from this bed! Love, love, love!! Best Wayfair purchase to date!
