Great product for the money. Make sure you understand the different hardware before assembly.
Arrived in two boxes. Boxes looked a little beat up. The back of the headboard fabric did have a puncture in the thin fabric but no big deal. All of the hardware is in the back of the headboard. There is a thin fabric flap that is velcroed on the sides and bottom.
Instructions could be better but theyre good. The bag of hardware is sorted in plastic pouches that have letters on them which really helps. My letters were missing from half the pouches though, rubbed off. So make sure you understand the different size bolts and washers before assembling. Check out both sides of the headboard legs too. The first time I put them on wrong and I used the wrong washers.
I used a drill with an bit to make it go faster. It would take forever with the little hand tools they provide. The way the legs and frame assembles you could do it with one person but of course its nice to have a second hand. The sides are designed that you can start the bolts and then hang the sides on the bolts one at a time and then tighten them down.
I had to screw the adjusters on the bottom of the legs down about an inch. Make sure you do that so the aluminum doesnt bend! I also mounted the aluminum frame at the headboard as high as it could go ( can be adjusted slightly up or down) so it was a slight angle towards the feet (if any). Make sure you start the wooden slats the highest they can go near the headboard. Those get actually screwed into wood, you need a drill. Beautiful and Sturdy.
