The bed was a mess. The instructions were unclear and it tells you to nail right into the wood, which splits the wood. Also, the full size mattress I bought was too big. We had to take off the sides of the bed so the mattress could work. It's possible this is the mattress' fault, but it seems odd to me that a mattress would be made the wrong size? (same review left for the other part since this was split to be 2 parts).
