The assembly was easy took me about an hour alone. Just have to make sure you put the headboard legs in the right place lol. One set up I shook the frame to test stability and it didn’t move. The box was bigger then me so I had to move piece by piece to my bedroom but that made it easier instead of looking at all the pieces at one time I was looking at what I needed. It is beautiful once completed. The box arrived beat up but the contents were in perfect condition.
