I didnt see any reviews when I bought this bed so I thought Id leave a detailed review with my personal opinions for anyone looking to purchase this. First it is a very beautiful bed. The headboard is so soft and its pretty sturdy. Im a 26 year old woman and I was able to put it together by myself in a couple hours. The instructions are pretty straight forward, there are some things that made me think twice but for the most part it was easy to follow as far as directions go. There was only one piece that was not labeled and that took a while to figure out but its pretty obvious if you look at all the other parts, you could figure it out. It does come in two boxes, they are pretty heavy but Im quite small and I was able to move them. It would definitely be easier having someone help but its not necessary. I did have my husband help screw everything down a bit tighter just to be sure that it wasnt going to fall apart, and so far so good. The only complaint I have are with the slats. THERE ARE SO MANY and very difficult to put into place. That was definitely the most time consuming and wood is very flimsy and does not want to go into the slots or stay in them. I would recommend just buying some boards and laying those down instead. Also the slats are curved so that makes the mattress not lay flat so we will probably end up removing them and just laying some boards down instead but its not a huge deal. Overall its a beautiful frame and Im very happy with the purchase. It was shipped quickly and I actually got it 3 days before the original arrival day. I would recommend this item but only if you have a knack for building things.
