I love this bed! It is much lower than my previous bed, so I had to get used to that-definately low-profile. It was very easy to assemble but took way more than an hour as the instructions said. There are LOTS of parts but don't let that intimidate you. One person could do it alone, but having at least 2 people would make it much easier. It took my boyfriend and me about 3 hours to complete it. I would still say it was very easy though. 
My only 2 complaints would be that it is a little basic, but for the price, I can't complain too much. The other thing that I don't 'love' about it is the storage trundles/drawers. They are not fully enclosed so you can't store anything that might be small enough to fall out of a 2 inch (or so) opening. Still, they are sturdy for what they are and do the trick. However, they do attach to the bed frame securely when in the closed position.
