If you are not handy, this might take you some time to figure out.  Description doesn't say that foot board and headboard arrive exactly the same size!  I had to call Customer Service to find out that at the bottom of the box were taped extenders.  It took us a good hour to figure it all out (but granted, we are not good at this!), but we are very happy with the results.  As other metal beds though, it will bang against the wall if you sit up in bed to read.  I don't think that's unusual.

Pros: Good value; got it on sale and it looks lovely in the room.
Cons: Would wish it were very sturdy in terms of not so much "give."  Think it will be banging the wall a lot!
