Well firstly I ordered black, but was sent cream. I couldn't send it back as I had someone staying, so just had to make the decision to live with the cream.

Pretty simple to put together until it came to putting the bed knobs on. They were so heavily spray painted that it was impossible to get them in. I had to sit and scrape the paint of with a blade until I got the paint off, then using a piece of scrap wood and a hammer bash the bed knob in. This was very risky as it could of damaged them. I don't expect to have to make modifications to get things to fit together.
