This bed frame took 3 people over 3 hours to put together. The drawer pieces are labeled but they are labor intensive to build. The bottoms of the drawers are basically a thick piece of paper, so you cannot put anything heavy (or that is not light weight) in them. The support pieces for the bottoms of the drawers are also pretty much useless and hard to get into place. The wood was good quality except for the planks used to support the mattress. Those were very flimsy, not straight, and splintering. You MUST wear gloves when trying to get those in place or you will get splinters all in your hands. Getting the whole frame together with the boards in place is almost impossible. You definitely need at least 3 people. The boards dont stay in place and when you get one in you end up popping several out of place. I also feel like those boards are going to tear up my mattress and anything that rubs up against them from inside the drawers. I put a protective sheet down to help protect my mattress. I like way the bed frame turned out, but it definitely required a lot of hard work and patience and the items that can be put in the drawers are limited due to the flimsy bottoms.
Super hard to put together but a good bed frame
