I was finally able to put this bed together, well my husband was. It took him way longer than it should due to pieces not aligned properly. He literally had to jamforce pieces into place for the head and foot boards. Now that it’s together, I find the bed extremely low to the ground which I’m not use to. I see this bed going into a quest room or my teens room but not for me and my husband. It would have been a less of a pain to put together if the headboard and footboard were already intact, at least with the fabric, just a suggestion.
