I am so excited about this! It arrived earlier than expected. It took about an hour and a half to put together alone. The instructions were easy to follow. The hardest part was putting the bumper thingies on top of the slat pieces. I still don’t have a better way to describe the process than the directions said other that emphasizing to start on the bottom of the rubber piece and push inwards and work your way to the top and it seems to go in place. Once put together, it seems like it is going to be sturdy. I was concerned the headboard wouldn’t be tall enough to be visible but it is. I’m so pleased! It is a beautiful piece! I would definitely order another!
