The instructions were a bit vague.  The fact that I am not attaching to the side board and foot board made it difficult with my metal bed frame,  It could use extra tools for securing to a metal frame as the holes are not aligned exactly.  It took me about an hour to put together,  I do realize the difficulty is attributed to OPERATOR ERROR.  I love the material and the way it looks.  For the price I paid it lives up to what I expected.   I would recommend this product, I would just suggest that 2 people put it together because I felt like a contortionist doing it on my own.
