I have received more compliments on this bed! I had no trouble with assembly, being a senior female. Everything went together smoothly. I had read on a previous post that the side rails would be awkward and had cracked the center brace when picking it up to insert into the headboard and footboard. I prevented this from happening by adding a heavy duty strip of tape above the brace across the two rails. This gave it a little more support so I could hook them into the head and foot boards more easily. It looks beautiful and I am very pleased with it.
Love the creamy color and material.
