this piece was pretty easy to put together by myself. it is a nice bed and exactly what i needed. what i loved most about this purchase, however, was the company. the bed comes in three boxes and somewhere between delivery and my packages being received by the doormen of my apartment complex, one box was lost. the customer service people were great and they sent me a replacement box really quickly! i recommend this bed and this company to everyone i talk to now! thanks wayfair!
