Easy to assemble, light smell We just set up this bed last night. Heres the deal with the reviews that say the center supports dont reach the ground. Those reviewers have apparently put the bed rails on incorrectly. We made this mistake at first, because nothing in the instructions indicates which rail goes on the right and which on the left. They are not symmetrical, in that the ledge where the slats rest is not in the center of the rail, but closer to one edge than the other. If you put the rails on the wrong sides, there will be a gap of a few inches between the center supports and the floor, even after the leveling bolts are screwed all the way out. If this happens, you need to switch the rails. Then it all fits perfectly. Also, if you put the rails on the wrong way, youll notice that theres not much ledge holding your mattress in. Another clue youve done it wrong. Bottom line, gorgeous, sturdy, bed, poor assembly directions, but still not hard to set up with two people. Definitely recommend two people.
Sturdy and beautiful, but beware the instructions
