Recent purchase, assembled 12/13/2021, arrived a few days earlier than scheduled. Assembly was somewhat easy, but, as most people point out, my fingers hurt from the little L ped tool used to tighten most/all of the screws. The head board foot board wood (fake wood?) and the parts for them come attached already, respectively, so you save your hands on having to attach those parts. Assembly instructions are all pictures, no written instructions; they werent that difficult to figure out, you just gotta slow down a bit and think things through before you start/continue. I strongly recommend this be assembled by 2 persons minimum (kudos to those who were able to assemble on their own). Assembly took about 2 hours between me and my helper. The box it came in was a little beat up, but no scratches on anything, however there was a dent on one of the parts of the head board (a part that faces the wall, so not that big of a deal). Im 5 9 and 210 lbs. so I hope this holds up well. Ill post updates, if any.
So far so good (knock on wood)
