This is a project- but it’s worth it compared to what a lot of high end stores want for bed frames. I bought this for under 500 and it took about 4 hours to assemble (by 2 young women). It’s pretty easy to put together, but be warned that the instructions are pictures only with no words and the parts aren’t always labeled. BUT- the hardware is separated into bags which makes it easier to match what goes to which step. Drawers are a good size and sturdy, you need to buy your own handles for them, though. If you’re up for labor to get a good price, I highly recommend this!
