I love this bed so much. Assembly was a breeze. My SO was able to put it together mostly without me and it took less than an hour. I love that all of the tools were in the headboard and Zinnus made every effort to make things a breeze as far as assembly. My only complaint was that the box it came in was not discreet. It was delivered while we were at work and we came home to a box clearly stating what it was. Just things to think about if you're reading this review and thinking about ordering. You might wanna wait until you're home for delivery.
