Have patience putting it together though. It’s gonna take a bit. The middle connecter for where the middle of the mattress would be requires you to drill the screw between two pieces of wood and into the third. Unless you have a power drill I’ve found it’s easier to go without the washer. The washer adds a millimeter too much for the screw to catch on the tracking in the leg. Otherwise it’s a very nice bed frame and has a cozy cabin feeling to it with the right sheets set!!
