Beautiful bed  well made. Very sturdy! The directions were not helpful (page went from pg.1 to pg.5, pages 2, 3, 4 were missing) but we were able to piece everything together by common knowledge.  It took about 2 hours to assemble.  A cordless screw driver was helpful to have on hand.  We have the box spring on it in the picture shown but will be getting rid of it  just using the mattress alone.  Delivery went well. Two nice, professional gentlemen brought it into my home  placed it in my hallway where I wanted it. Im ready for a good night sleep. Sweet dreams.
