This was the hardest loft bed to assemble. It took me hours upon hours and I am still not done. I still have the storage units to assemble. The instructions are clear but it required me to go back to unassemble a part then reassemble for it to fit. It was not fun. The end result is pretty. However, I recommend paying someone to assemble. Also, the color on the storage units started peeling off when I took it out of the box.
