It took me most of the day doing it by myself (despite what they think, my little guys didn’t actually help mommy lol). Looks great, but taking off a star because of the long screws sticking out (see attached photo) on both sides. Who thought it was a good idea to not use a shorter one? I don’t mind it scratching up my current old mattress but I’ve ordered a new one that I don’t want mucked up.
