This bed if awesome I love it I still waiting for my mattress but I am a geek for electronics so I love the led light on the head board it was easy to put together . The instructions are that great but not to hard to figure out the side rails have a long board that attaches to the side of it make sure the side that the 2 set of 12 holes are face up ward the slates ends fit into the hole the instructions were showing the holes facing on one of the side rails
