It took this single lady less than 2 hours to assemble alone. Very simple, easy to follow directions. The pieces all fit etc. Had a measured the height of my pillow top mattress I would have realized it sits higher than imagined, but no biggie.
LOTS of storage room underneath, higher than needed for those slide under rubbermaid on wheels tubs. Metal frame extends beyond the mattress in all directions, hoping to not bash my toes or shins on it too often, but its expected.
