I must admit, assembling the bed was a nightmare. Not that it was difficult but rather simply because the design does not prevent the customer from putting some parts the wrong way. It is not easy to see they are place wrong by just looking at them. How would you know that you put them wrong? The last part of the assembly would not work. It would appear as though the holes are inches apart. If you want more details you can read all the one star reviews under this bed. I was furious as well when I put the bed together and got stuck there. I also thought there were an issue with the bed but that was further from the truth. After speaking with the manufacturer/seller and exchanged pictures, he was able to assist. We went back and forth in emails for at least an hour. Eventually I realized what I had done wrong. Months later so far so good. I would highly recommend this. Especially if you are ordering it for a child. Also get it with a foam mattress. Very firm and steady. I can see this bed lasting a few years.
I actually like it
