There were some holes that would not line up no matter what we did, but we made it work.  Also, the directions listed letters for the different parts and NONE of the parts had any letters.  The hardware was all in one big bag with no indication of what was what number.  Again, figured it out and made it work, but would have been nice to have things lettered and numbered as the directions indicated they should have been.  The bed it's self is very pretty and comfy.
