Im giving this bed 2 stars because its very frustrating and then again its easy to put together. I spent almost 2 or 3 hours putting this bed together, and it was easy to assemble however the foot for the board underneath the bed does not screw, so Im either going to have to glue the foot onto the board or figure something out to make it stick. Secondly, they only sent about 4 boards, my mattress is sinking at the top because the boards doesnt hold the whole mattress, now I have to get more boards to put underneath plus buy a boxspring so it doesnt sink after adding more boards. The bed is beautiful and I love it after it has been assembled but I wouldnt recommend buying this if youre on a tight budget, it requires way to many additional parts that arent included and the frustration is just unnecessary! I was looking forward to sleeping on my bed tonight but I guess I wont be. Ill be getting my funds back ASAP.
