This bed is a nice piece of furniture. This arrived in good condition. I put this bed together myself, but I definitely can see how solo, there is potential to bend important hardware. I used paint cans to elevate certain sides as to keep the bed flush and square while building. If you're not patient, get someone to help you. I hesitated a little bit based of the previous reviews of the center support beam. It does appear to be a bit fragile, however, I haven't had any issues. 

This used to be my main bed, but now it's in the guest room. Not because of functionality, but because I found a bed that matched my room aesthetic better.
