I ordered 2 of these bed frames and they were delivered 1 day before the expected date which is great. The first 1 took me about 2 hours to set up because I didn't follow the instructions properly. However I assembled the 2nd 1 the following night and it was a breeze. My 13 yr old son put all the different sizes & numbered screws aside and put the extra ones beside the picture on the manual which was a big help. We screwed the metal unto the back of the headboards and the footboard, then we affixed them onto the frame and in an hour we did it. I really love these frames the design is unique and it's sturdy.
