I really like the bed, but if it hadn't been for two of the pre-drilled holes that connect side frame to headboard not lining up that uses the inserts to tighten bolts, everything would have taken no more than an hour. It ended up taking three hours to correct the holes, which meant the holes had to be drilled through the side frame! I will now have to fill and paint. Also, as you can see in the photo, they should have included plugs to cover holes where bolts were attached.
