Exactly what I wanted for an excellent price. This is not a bed your kids will be jumping on, it's just not the sturdiest I can see why people would have problems with assembly; not much in the way of written instructions just photos (which is fine with me as I'm a visual learner). Definitely take their advice and finger tighten all screws until the bed is fully assembled. I discovered two screws that I installed upside down and it was an easy fix. At the end I tightened everything as best I could with the stupid little wrenches they give you but I will definitely take the mattress off in a month or so and check everything.
