So this is an absolutely beautiful bed frame. It was kind of a beast to put together. Do NOT tighten ANY screws with the Allen wrench until you have them all in the corner holes.  We had to loosen and tighten and loosen and tighten for at least two hours to try to get them to all fit. It's such a tricky fit. My big beef with this frame is what one reviewer mentioned--that it's just too large for a king mattress. There is about 2" of space on BOTH sides and the bottom, which looks really tacky. We are just pushing it flush near the doorway and leaving the space on the side that's closest to the wall that no one will see. And we make sure the top blanket goes over the sides to hide it. But we know it's there, and it really bugs me. I don't know why they can't just measure it to fit a regular king size mattress! But there's no way we are disassembling and sending back bc it was such a feat.  Thankfully the look is still really pretty if you can get past the sizing flaw. I LOVE the fabric.
