The bed itself is great quality, however assembly was difficult at first due to a defective head board. The headboard folds in half, you are to then to unfold it, then secure it with screws. The holes from the top half and the bottom half on my bed did not allign. I contacted Costumer Service, and they were very patient and willing to send me a new headboard. I ended up taking a drill bit and creating holes that matched myself.
