Love this bed! Everything came packaged inside the headboard and was labeled, which made assembly super easy. Earlier reviews mentioned only three slats, but mine came with four as well as indicated four in the assembly directions. I had no issue putting this together by myself (single 38yo female) and setting it up with my own box springs and mattress. I’d absolutely buy this again if I had to back in time. The blue is beautiful. Not quite navy, not quite turquoise, but perfect.
