This sat in the box for about a month before I could do anything with it. One of the metal bars for the headboard came bent inwards and it was an absolute nightmare trying to bend it open enough to insert the second piece. There ended up being at least 2/3 metal parts that were bent and needed to be reshaped with pliers before the bed coukd be put together. If it hadnt been so heavy and I hadnt waited too long, I wouldve returned it. Thankfully besides all that, its been a decent bed.
Examine all parts
