Nice beautiful bed, sturdy and lightweight. Putting it together was not difficult and it only took my husband and I about 20 minutes. The sides of the headboard, are attached with screws, two  through the back, and one through the front at the bottom the bottom holes did not align with the metal piece, we just didn’t attach it at the bottom, it does not affect the look or sturdiness at all. I’m very happy with the purchase, it is exactly what I was looking for.
