Great bed. Well made. Easy to assemble. One person can pretty much do it. You do need to put the slats and mattress on before putting the gas springs. It won’t close unless you do this. The instructions say differently. This you will need two people for. One to hold the frame and mattress up while the other person puts the springs on. You can wait and put the bolts on the springs after you close the bed and left it again. It will hold itself up then.
