Putting the bed together is a nightmare. Instead of providing 2 long planks to connect to the headboard and footboard, 4 half planks are provided and you must screw them in a very awkward manner. The screws you must screw are awkwardly placed. Believe me, it was tough, whoever thought of the manufacturing aspect of the bed should go back to drawing table and provide 2 long planks instead of 4 half planks. Also there is no bottom support for the mattress, we had to run to Home Depot to purchase plywood to connect to bed to prevent mattress from sinking. I don’t recommend purchasing the bed. Common sense seems to be don’t bother purchasing it. I’m sorry I have to write this negative review. I’ve put Ikea furniture together but never had I had such angled screws to screw in. Putting an  Ikea piece of furniture is a great deal easier than this piece of furniture was. All the best
