Yes, as reviews mentioned it is a bed that takes a while to set up. Took my wife and I close to two hours to build. However, it is a beautiful bed and fits perfectly with our taste and room - simple and modern. It holds our king size Purple Mattress that is massive and heavy, plus us two and our two cats. I like the support beams it had. I would have given it a 5 star BUT we wish it brought extra screws. Two of our screws stripped and there were no extra ones to replace them so they are sticking out. Thankfully, it is in areas that are not visible.
