Great bed / easy assembly / DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY OF THE SCREWS UNTIL YOU ARE DONE
I thought I would put the most crucial part of the assembly in the title so, hopefully, you will not struggle with assembly. This is a great economical bed, but the instructions are limited and you have to remember not to tighten screws until you are completely done. This is because the slats that are the foundation for the mattress simply hook on slots on either side of the bed frame. To install them you will have to separate the frames as far apart as possible (which you will NOT be able to do if the screws (any of them) are tight and the components have no slack. Finally, I read about folks saying that it makes noise.that is only if you dont follow the instructions and put the rubber strips (with the longer edge towards the inside of the bed) before you install the shims on top of the frames. Those shims, with the rubber strips, hold each slat securely against the frames and prevent any noise. Thats it. Took my wife and I 45 minutes to assemble. Oh. 3 bolts go on the center top and bottom legs that fold out. This prevents them from folding again. The center leg gets a 1 bolt. Hope this helps folks Very pleased with this purchase
