The bed was easy to put together EXCEPT for one hole on the bed frame did not match up with the headboard.  I saw other reviews that states this same thing.  My son was able to drill the hole a tad bigger so that it would align properly.  The bed is beautiful, well made and heavy. The major problem I had with this was that it was stated that the bed would be delivered within a week of ordering, but it took 2 weeks.  Then when it was delivered the delivery company (FedEx) left it outside the apartment building in the grass.  FedEx stated that as long as the shipping label had the correct address including delivery instructions they would deliver directly to the individual apartment.
