First, let me just say I love this bed!  It's just what I wanted.  Quality and color are pretty near perfect.  But, assembly is a project and a half!  There were some bolts included that were the wrong size and required a trip to the hardware store.  The directions are written extremely poorly and are more than hard to follow.  I had two guys helping me with this and we're all pretty handy and it still took us hours to set this bed up.  Again though, I really do like the bed.
