Beautifully made and super easy to put together. My boyfriend and I bought this for our first apartment and put it together in less than 30 minutes. We tag-teamed it, but I think one person could pretty easily assemble on her own. I love how quiet it is - I had a metal frame before and just getting INTO bed would cause squeaking. Tossing, turning, etc - no noise. Very happy and would totally recommend. Great value!
