The instructions are extremely straight forward and easy to follow. We had our bed put together with no issues. However the first time my husband just SAT on the bed the support beam attached to the side panel broke right off. He is 170 pounds. I would have hoped it was more supportive then that. 

Very disappointed.


UPDATE**

I did receive the replacement bed promptly, however I only yesterday opened the box to set it up and unfortunately, there were 3 identical panels in the box. There are supposed to be two panels that attach to the foot board and two that attach to the headboard, but what I got was one that attached to the foot board and three that attached to the headboard but all for the right side of the bed. 

I had to to take pieces from the old bed and makeshift a way to get it put together. I am sorry I couldn't provide better feedback. I am just very disappointed.
