This is my first time putting a bed together and it was too hard but you definitely need to separate all the parts  and group them by letter . It's sturdy but low profile. I like the fact that you can adjust the headboard. The storage is good but they could have made it a little bigger because there is a lot of space around each storage under the bed. There are no rails for the storage under bed it loosely moves but it latches to a screw to close . I love the linen feel.
