Everyone that said this was tough to put together was correct. Recommend taking inventory and organizing all the pieces before getting started. If you have a power drill with a clutch you should definitely use that versus a manual screw driver. All together it’s about a 3 hour project. Well worth the work, sturdy and I absolutely love the storage space on the bottom! Definitely would recommend! (Paired with Wayfair Sleep 12” Plush Gel Memory Foam Mattress that also received 5 stars..) (Small side note for Wayfair, packaging for shipping could be improved to protect the product better.)
