The bed is difficult to put together. The instructions provided are minimal and leave you guessing what to do. The mattress frame it brings is basic. The frame is NOT sturdy and the size of the king size frame seems to be off. Consequently,there are big gaps between the mattress and the headboard as well as footboard. Not safe if you have small kids. If you are buying from this company make sure to take the insurance on returns. [...] Good Luck.
