I don’t know how these people are saying it’s easy to assemble. The directions were absolutely worthless. The parts don’t go together correctly. At least we got the base assembled properly so the bed shouldn’t go crashing down in the middle of the night. The footboard wouldn’t attach because the one part was crooked and it was crooked on the headboard side too, so only one screw went in. So basically I have a frame and a headboard. Overall, I hate it.
