Yes, there is a ton of screws, bolts, etc in this packbut instructions were fairly easy to follow. In fact, I put it together with one pink Phillips head screwdriver and the enclosed Allen wrench. Yes it took a while/probably should have used a drill with screwdriver attachment. Being a 64 year old woman with arthritis in my hands I figure anybody who can read instructions could do it if I could. Im not fond of the pressed wood supports but the bed did seem sturdy once I put it together. Didnt have any problems with the drawers/ all fit in perfectly and smoothly. I like the metal rails but wish the bottoms were more solid on the drawers. This bed frame doesnt have a way to attach headboard either. I was worried about the slats after reading some of the other comments / but on this one it fits in a metal rail/has spaces for them so they cant shift and when you finally get them all in at once on the foot of the bed rail they was no way they could come out. My husband and I weigh together about 260 pounds so I wasnt too worried about our weight on the slats. I cant attest to its longevity yet since weve only begun using it but so far so good. I like that the bottom has the storage and the head and foot rails prevent my cats from going under the bed / that was why we got this one / one kept going under the bed and throwing up and I was tired of crawling under the bed to clean it up. The drawers actually held more than I expected too.
A ton of parts!
