This bed is very pretty once you put it all together. The assembling of the bed did not take too long. I am not sure how well the bed will hold up in the long run. I ordered a full and I was disappointed at how much space was left between the frame and the bed itself making it seem like a queen would be better suited. 
When putting together, one of the side rails was completed covered in fabric so I had to cut a hole into the fabric to allow for a screw to be put into it.  I would say it took about 40 mins to make the bed with my six year old insisting on helping the whole way through.
