This bed was easy to assemble - I received multiple boxes and as long as you assemble the parts in each box and then piece it all together it is a fairly smooth process. 

I did receive 3 parts that were damaged while they were easily replaced with a quick phone call and arrival within a week, it was still inconvenient to not be able to complete the bed in one go. 

Pros: easy to assemble and great finished look
Cons: risk of receiving damaged pieces resulting in delayed assembly.
