June 23, 2012 Update - Watch out for leaving drawers open on your side of bed! A well placed foot will destroy one in a heartbeat. Still a great bed otherwise.
Assembly requires patience and attention to detail. Drawers will not align at all if frame is assembled incorrectly or not aligned into a perfect square (pull/push any corner). Once properly positioned, drawers inserted and king sized matress layed down this thing does not budge at all.
Correct assembly of the drawers is key to align them properly; a straight frame wont matter if the drawers themselves are slightly crooked. Also, this is not a piece of furniture meant to be moved often. Removal of the matress and drawers is recommended if moving by self for cleaning/aesthetic purposes.
Negatives: Included instructions are rather vague and require special attention to the pictures more so than the verbatim. The kit includes only the exact ammount of small hardware pieces needed and no extras. It is recommended to set these aside within their own area.
Overall, with a Sleep Innovations 12inch king memory foam matress and taking advantage of normally empty space for storage this bed is the flag ship of any bedroom.
