When we attempted to assemble this bed, we discovered that the crosspiece at the head of the bed did not fit.   Thinking that the crosspiece was too long, we called and were shipped another.  The second one arrived and was the same length - and the holes in the center were not in the center!  We ended up having to saw off 3/16" to make the original piece fit, had to drill new holes, and cut one of the slats as the headboard is 3/16" narrower than the bottom of the bed.  Very poor in that we really did not have time to reorder again - and it was not easy to make the adjustments we had to make.  Would not recommend this bed.
