I really thank Wayfair for this bed, it’s lovely and everything was intact. I’m 8months pregnant but I was able to fix it up my self but please I’m not advising other pregnant women to do same if u are not strong enough like me but i did it. It turned out well. Just  follow the instructions carefully. You will be fine. I bought Queen size ( gray color ).please you don’t need a bed foundation because it will make it too high , the slates that it came with are high enough for it.
