I just got my bed and set it up last night and it really is beautiful it was so heavy though my husband and I had a terrible time trying to get it just standing up because it's so heavy.  The men were supposed to just drop it off at the door but because I couldn't even lift it to get it inside my house they went ahead and brought it in so we didn't have to stay outside. There are no tools needed it comes with its wrench  and heavy-duty screws. I don't have it anchored to the wall yet but its sturdy enough it could stand on its own with my bed pushed up against it it is supported by three legs and is just very very nice and sturdy.The material is a very heavy linen quite nice and the tufting is just spectacular you won't be disappointed if you choose this bed.
