This bed is beautiful and not too difficult to assemble. I put it together by myself in about 3 hours, but it took longer because one of the wing's pre-drilled holes didn't align with the headboard counterpart. Just drilled new holes on my own with a power drill, and it worked out. The slats are verrry raw wood, so just be cautious of splinters when assembling those. Overall a decent quality bed for the price.
