My husband and I put this bed together in 4 hours. So many parts and nuts and bolts in all different sizes.  Very hard to discern which ones went where.  Instructions were unclear.  We had to try and see what parts were pictured but even those weren't clear.  Directions said to add extra pieces, if putting together the king bed.  Put them where?  Too much time spent due to unclear instructions.  Make and include King Bed instructions!  Can't be that difficult.  Love the final product and especially the fabric (Shantung Parchment).  I didn't want Linen so the cotton blend fabric and light fabric color makes it look very rich.  Two people are needed to complete this project.
