I appreciated that the instructions were written like Lego instructions. Made it fairly easy to put together. I did it by myself, but the only part that I think it would have been helpful to have a second pair of hands was lifting the headboard to hook with the two sides. It’s a lovely bed that feels like it will last a while. I wasn’t too keen on the color, but part of the benefit of getting an upholstered bed frame was I would know how to change the color but reupholstering it. My box was missing some slats, but it was very easy to reach out to the manufacturer through their instructions and request replacement parts. I really liked how smooth that process was.
