The platform bed arrived early so I set about putting it together, all the parts and fasteners were there with easy to understand instructions.  Yes there are a couple of tools included to put the bed together with, but I chose to use my own hand tools and the bed went together without a hitch.  This is a very nice and sturdy bed .  My wife and I put our new mattress, which we purchased from Wayfair, on the new bed frame, what a beautiful paring.  We are very satisfied with our purchases.
