This was reasonably simple to assemble but the instructions seemed to be for a different model! There was a whole section (the footboard) that didnt exist in the instructions and I had to wing it. But it was simple enough for this not to be a major problem. The bed looks pretty good once its up. Not the best quality - the screws are all exposed and the joints dont meet perfectly neatly. But its not too bad for the price. And it seems fairly sturdy. Cheap and functional. Itll do the job.
