If you lay out the parts in order....a b c etc. It is very easy. Everything was well packaged and went together great. My husband and I took about 2 hours. Ordering a foam mattress for it. The storage is a plus. The reason I ordered the bed with a bottom skirt, you cannot find an old-fashioned bedspread anymore. I don't want to see under the bed, and I hate comforter skirts. This will be perfect. Price was reasonable. Not great but not bad.
