Was nervous upon receiving this that it was just a headboard but if you open it and find a headboard only, don’t panic! The bed is inside the zipper pouch in the headboard. Love the bed and only giving it 4 stars because one of the pieces of wood was cut too short and didn’t fit so we had to jerry rig it and add more support. Would love it if they would count all the nuts and bolts etc too in packaging because there were a few pieces missing but the price of the bed is worth it otherwise. Very pretty!
