Well let me start by saying the way this bed was so well packed and secured inside 3 boxs their was no way anything could get damaged they took the time to protect every part of this bed I've never seen so much protection witch was fabulous and  I put this be together by myself as a 50+ yr old woman it was so easy they had every thing I needed all the hardware and tools were individual wrapped in little pouches taped to every part that they would go to so no mistakes or guessing then the manual with clear illustrations step by step  on how to build your bed was perfect for me.The bed its self is so beautiful it is very sturdy well made did not skimp on anything wood is solid I cant stop saying enough good thing about this bed it is my first purchase from wayfair and it wont be my last the price was just right and the diamond tuck headboard is beautiful the color is a soft taupe love my bed
