Interesting assembly. See notes below and check the height of your mattress!!
I’ve bought a few head boards / frames that ship this same way. The assembly is relatively straight forward, but it tells you not to tighten bolts til the end. 4 of the bolts that go into the headboard are hidden behind the frame at the end, so I had to disassemble the frame to tighten those, but i had already installed the wood slating. I then snapped two of the plastic pieces the wood slating goes into when I was trying to retighten the headboard bolts. Luckily they gave 2 extras plastic wood slating insert pieces.
On other frames similar to this, they use a Velcro system for the wood slating. That is a much better system than individual pieces of wood that snap into plastic holding pieces.
The vertical space between the frame and the headboard wasn’t tall enough for my mattress, so now the mattress sticks out and doesn’t fit fully on the bed. They give dimensions for it, but I didn’t think to check that dimension (was only worried about length and width, not height). I was able to squish the top of my mattress down and slide it back into the space. Not ideal, but it worked.
The color is definitely a lot lighter than anticipated as well. Thought it would be closer to a darker navy blue. Wait to purchase throw pillows and comforters until you see it in person!
