So easy to put together. I am a 70 year old woman and I did it by myself. Took a good 3 hours, but I took my time. Have slept on it for 4 nights and it seems very sturdy but still lightweight. Instructions have no words, just pictures, but figured them out. Getting it delivered left a lot to be desired and waking up to texts from Wayfair before 6 in the morning didn’t help. Would definitely recommend the bed though!
