I bought this bed frame in black to replace my son��s bed. I will say that the directions are visual only, but if you follow them, you will be fine. It says it should take 45 minutes together with two people, and I cannot see that being possible given the number of screws required. I did it myself, and I did it efficently, but it probably took me 2 to 3 hours. If you have an Allen wrench bit driver, with someone else holding things together and putting the screws where they need to go, you could probably do it in an hour to an hour and a half. All screws lined up well with all pieces and there were no problems with anything missing or damage to any parts. It really is great quality for the money. While it is true that the drawers do not have a full track and are on wheels, there is a place where the back of the drawers have piece to insert into the frame so they��re not moving around and sit closed. It looks great, and worked very well with a 16 inch extra thick king size mattress. It��s good quality, when you put it together right and everything is tight; it is very stable. I have not installed the lights yet, but everything else is set up and in place. I do love the idea of having LED lights and it��s great to have the power elements to insert for lights, Amazon echoes, or whatever else, including charging phones. I know he is going to love it. I still am moving everything around in his bedroom so disregard all of the items just to the side of the bed in the pics since his room is not completely set up yet. I also bought the sheet set and the comforter from Amazon and love them both too.
