The instructions are a little unclear, but we figured it out and in the end, this bed is great! Im not a huge fan of how narrow the slats are (about a cm/half inch), as when I sit on my bed I can feel them. If it continues to bother me though, i can put down some wood. Shipping was fast and accurate, and the box was nicely and compactly packaged with plenty of protective foam and bags. Came with everything necessary. A good frame!
