This bed once complete is very study and is beautiful. As a 65yo woman I have put together many pieces of funiture.
Cons: The number of the boxes are hard to read, as it is on the top of the box in green print, Box one had a label on the side that said 1. There are No written directions but the pictures are very good if you take the time to really study them as I did step by step. Do not assume or jump ahead without following the pictorial directions.
Pros: This was sent three weeks earlier then stated which was great for me. Unfortunately the shipping company delayed shipping one box for a couple of days. I dont know if it was missrouted or what but I had to wait until it came to begin putting this together.
I was a little upset that while assembling the first of four boxes I was short two critical specialty screws to complete assembling the bottom unit. When I opened the second box I found that I had enough of the needed screws to continue. When box 1 the bottom section was assembled I was worried that it was not a full size because it looked short but when we measured it it was indeed a full size base. I assembled the second and third box and found that I had plenty of hardware for the pieces. The fourth box containes the framework for the holding the mattress and the slats to go underneath. Pay close attention to the orintation of the boards and pieces as you go along and you will be fine. I used a small ratchet and battery powered screw driver to assemble this, as at 65 years of age my wrists are not what they used to be. If you take your time I believe that you will be very pleased with the outcome as I was. Overall this is a very nice piece of furniture that should last for many years. Great!
Very Nice Bed
