I am a 71 y.o. grandmother.  Assembled this bed by myself in just over an hour...until I got to the very last screw, which didn't line up.  My son was able to jerry rig it with one of the spare parts and he tightened all my work.  Love this bed.  Easy to assemble and looks great.  Perfect for my 4 y.o. grandson because it is so low to the ground.
