I had no problems following the instructions and it went together well.  All the holes lined us nicely. Note: it is hard to tell at first but there is a front and back to the pieces with the back side having tiny predrilled holes.   I added legs by replacing the two outer upright pieces on the back with one by six walnut hardwood flooring which for the most part matched.  A cheaper way would be to use one by six or one by four pine and stain it.  I then attached the legs to the bed frame.
