Firstly, the title needs changing as this is definitely not wood, it's metal. 
The bed was relatively easy to put together and all of the parts are lettered and there are clear instructions. I did find a bit of rust in a few places, but as this is in the guest room and mostly covered, you can't see it. After finally getting the base (once it was put together) to fit into the outer frame, the slats slotted into the frame with a gentle push. It was then just a case of adding the mattress and bedding. I can honestly say, I'm thrilled with it. It's sturdy and I have slept on it for a week without any issues. It also looks stylish and for the price, you can't go wrong.
