So, it was definitely a pain in the butt to put together and at one point, the way they instructed was NOT allowing me to move forward. I had to do it my own way. One of the screws does not secure the headboard, it broke. I called the manufacturer and left a message and never heard back from them. The bed does make a noise getting in and out, not terrible: I dunno how sturdy it is as I can push and pull the headboard slightly. It does look great though and I get lots of compliments
I love it, it looks better than the picture
