The bed looks nice however the pilot holes for the center support beam were not in the correct spot so we had to drill our own pilot holes. The original holes were not level between the headboard and footboard which also meant that the support legs couldn't touch the ground, meaning they wouldn't provide any support. Because of this, I think having a power drill and level is necessary to assemble. It also meant it took us close to 2.5 hours to assemble.
