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. Will be ordering more.
Drawers were bigger than I thought they would be and easy to essemble The bed is light and easy to move. I got the Linenspa 12 in mattress for the bed and I swear I have never felt more comfortable in my entire life. This bed is perfect and my sister thought it was a Twin XL frame and mattress because its so big but it isnt. Im 58 and this bed is taller than me. Rest assured you would be getting your moneys worth. Great purchase Very happy.
great bed all in all! but be careful buying, no labelled pieces was very difficult to assemble, took 4 of us and 5 hours of our time to figure it out, lots of work to assemble without proper/clear instructions, i love the bed now! just a difficult time with set up. Well built!!
I put the bed and headboard together alone (Yah girl power) over a three day period enjoying music and talk radio while I worked. It was like putting together a puzzle and I like puzzles. The material is of poor quality but looks aming finished. With the advice from Kindle Customer in the review comments, it is now a quiet and sturdy bed. I believe I will have years of use/ enough time to get 350 dollars worth out of it. I hope it is sturdy.
Though this bed is great for kids and perfect for storage, it was a very long night of assembling it. Lots or pieces and hardware. We also received two of the same stabilizing rails. Instead of receiving an upper and lower stabilizing rail, we received two uppers. Three Stars.
I followed the instructions of another reviewer and purchased additional hardware for around 30 from Lowes. Following their instructions in the review was easy and straightforward and now the bed is much more solid. Without that additional info, I dont think this bed wouldve lasted even 2 years.
Did take off a star because of the additional work that needed to be done. But all in all, its a really nice bed frame and has pretty good storage. Definitely use a thicker mattress. Ours is on the thinner side (8) and we cant sit on the edges of the bed because it sinks a bit lower than the frame edges. Effective.

needs improvement
Good bed, study but drawers dont close properly without improvisation Poor construction.
Nice bed

Difficulties in set up but great bed once together
great bed all in all! but be careful buying, no labelled pieces was very difficult to assemble, took 4 of us and 5 hours of our time to figure it out, lots of work to assemble without proper/clear instructions, i love the bed now! just a difficult time with set up. Well built!!
Abundant storage
I like the size, and color tone, plus the built in storage. Its a great space saver too. Value.
Good price and solid!
Really very solid and beautiful for the price!! Worth a buy.

Painsta assembly and wrong parts
Though this bed is great for kids and perfect for storage, it was a very long night of assembling it. Lots or pieces and hardware. We also received two of the same stabilizing rails. Instead of receiving an upper and lower stabilizing rail, we received two uppers. Three Stars.
Great for small bedrooms
Easy to put together. Sturdy. Perfect for a small bedroom. Great value.
Needs Additional Work (as per another reviewer)
