The installation was pretty easy. The final product was not bad for the price.. The only issue was some pieces had some rust or chip on them but to return and have to wait another week for a bed was not going to happen.

Also, just a side not… if you want night tables make sure you have enough room as the drawers go almost all the way to the headboard.
