Like another reviewer, I thought my hydraulics didnt work. You need to put the mattress on the bed and hook them up. Theyre a pair of 200lb hydraulics. It takes force and leverage for them to function. Once I did these two things they worked perfectly despite seeming to be frozen prior to assembling the bed. I will say I didnt love the instructions as they only include pictures. It took me 2-3 hours to assemble the bed by myself. You will need a second person to hook up the hydraulics. I had a few metal bars that were tough to get in but my bed was in otherwise great shape despite being an open-box item.
Read this before freaking out during assembly
