I bought this bed for my 17 year old daughter and she helped me put it together. It took 2 hours and a little bit of cussing and swearing! The instructions were too simple and not as easy as other items I have bought from Wayfair. It is a beautiful bed when done but.... we could NOT get the bottom screws in the headboard on the back all of the way, no matter what we tried, many, many times. The piece that was on the lower frame was warped and dinged  and not even a good piece of wood compared to the other 3 that made the frame. I believe this is what caused the problem with the headboard not being able to screw in, but we used that one under the headboard so it is not visible. Over all it is a very pretty bed, the mattress we bought on Wayfair fit perfectly. I love the legs and the slats were so easy to install. I would recommend this bed, just know it might be a little work.
