My husband put this together in about 90 minutes.  I helped hold things, lol, but it did help to have 2 people at times.  This is exactly the size I needed for a small bedroom.  As others have said it would be so much nicer if the screw heads could be covered.  Was pretty scared opening what was left of the box, but only had a few minor dings that no one could really see.  For the sale price it was exactly what I needed.
