Some beds come with the instructions, some don't. Putting it together was a bit tedious. There is a particular order in which you must attach the slats or you may end up back tracking like I had to. You may also question where certain pieces go and which screws go where. Regardless, the bed looks great all said and done and is quite sturdy. 

Pros: Nice bed
Cons: No assembly instructions, a bit of a PITA.
