The instructions were worse than ikea, and some parts were missing. It seemed as they used the instruction for other bed, thus, some screws they said to use were too long for this particular bed, and  almost caused the fabric to tear. Some instructions were missing for assembling the base, and so we had to figure out how to do it ourselves. I'm a good carpenter, but it still took us about 7 hours to finish and had to buy parts from local stores because they were not the right parts. Also lots of assembling and disassembling ! We love the way the bed looks, but it still feels fragile, and if I knew how long this would have taken, I would have not picked this bed. I hope they revise the instructions soon.
