Just put it together.  As long as you follow the instructions, it’s easy to put together.  You can do it yourself but easier with help.  Some slight scratches on the head board but I just turned it to face the wall.  It was delivered by FedEx and it looks like they dropped and dragged the box around.  They punched a whole in it to make it easier for them to carry the box.  Luckily it didn’t damage the frame.  Wayfair should re-think their shipping contract with FedEx.  The bed feels sturdy.  The footboard is a bit low.  Once a mattress goes on, you won’t see the footboard.  Overall the bed fits my purpose and is good.
