It was reasonably easy to put together, I only needed a second pair of hands once. There were holes missing but the wood is soft so it wasn't an issue. I did have a small split in the wood at the hinge when I started to fold it up so I loosened the screws there. For what we need it for I think it will work out just fine. No one has slept on it yet so I can't speak to it's comfort level but we also got a mattress pad to help with that.
