Very pleased with this bed. It's solid wood and extremely sturdy and stiff once you get it together. Instructions are straightforward, but you will need a drill to fix two brackets and a few screws for which there are no predrilled holes. You don't need to pre-drill the holes, but you'll want a cordless drill with a Phillips bit to drive them in. You also need to measure and mark the cross brace brackets on the foot board and headboard to make sure they're at the same height and even with the side rails. The instructions don't tell you to do this. Go slow,, measure twice. Otherwise pretty straightforward.
Amazing quality for the price
