Easy to build, I did it myself without husband's help, except on the slats since there are no holes for the screws so you need to use a drill. Headboard is very heavy though. Looks beautiful in the room.
The feet of the slats seem weak though, be careful when pushing the bed, they seem easy to break.
Dont forget to get box springs. I got a 5" and still can see the gap between the bottom of the headboard and the mattress.
