First thing to say is we really like this bed. We found the company through internet search for wooden beds and were immediately drawn to the 100% solid wood advert. We also needed the right size headboard to fit with where we wanted the bed and the range on the website was very impressive. In the end we ordered the London oak super king and as others have found having it arrive in bits made moving everything to the right place a doddle. Headboard assembly was interesting and definitely made easier by the use of a wooden mallet with suitable protection for the bed material itself (I used another piece of wood). Oak is obviously more difficult to screw into than soft wood and I used a smaller diameter drill for the oak bits of screwing to make it easier. The only tricky bits of screwing were securing the side rails to the headboard and footboard. Power tools definitely help. Bed goes beautifully with the room. A good buy and exactly as advertised.
