Not too bad to put together (for my husband) he finished it in about 2 hrs. We were missing one long screw, so it will be completed when we get the missing part. Bought the 8” memory foam mattress which fits great. I was disappointed to learn of such a low weight capacity (250lbs-weight of mattress)so we purchased a steel reinforcement piece to lay over the wooden slats.  Otherwise, seems like a great piece and will serve as a couch in our bonus gametv room or an extra bed for guests. Using the bottom area for storage right now.
