Surprisingly difficult to assemble, it took over an hour. The foot of the bed is kind of annoying because it ends just below the mattress (standard height) which inevitably leads my kids to bump into it. After several bumped legs while climbing into bed, we are learning, but it’s worth noting. I like the curves on the edges and thought it would be a nicer thing than a sharp corner, but still annoyingly placed to allow kids to bump it.
