Setting this bed up was a true nightmare. Once it is set up,17 hours later, it's okay... what I felt was truly disappointing, aside of it taking up my whole entire day for setting it up, was that they show this nice high headboard in all the photos but in reality that headboard is about I would say 8 or 9 inches lower than in the photos they show. So once you put your pillows on the bed you'll never see that headboard again. I'm going to give you one piece of advice... the very top of the instructions says do not tighten all your screws until you have the entire bed together and I suggest you heed that advice!!! The instructions are so poorly written that you will be taking this bed back apart 10-12 times and if you have any familiarity with Allen Keys you know it will be a nightmare to continuously take it apart and put it back together so keep everything nice and loose, once you figure it all out, which you eventually will, then tighten everything up. BUT REALLY do not do it until you're about to put the mattress on the bed.
