The bed came with a few abnormalities. For instance, some of the holes were stripped and others were not correctly aligned to place screws. My partner and I used a hammer to bend the pieces into place for a proper fit for the headboard. Also, the headboard is low to the ground and stands at 39''. We thought that the headboard would rest on top of the base of the bed, which is one foot tall, to give it more height. Additionally, the manual is challenging to follow. We were stuck on pages 9 and 17 for a very long time. The whole process with two people took hours to assemble. We were exhausted because some of the steps had multiple steps and actions to follow. In the future, it would be great to have a detailed video of the assembly with shots that zoom in on the parts that are highlighted in the manual. Lastly, the bed came to us damaged. The base has a crack in the frame as well as what looks to be water damage as the material appears warped. Overall, I do not recommend it.
