I am a 54 year old female. And I assembled this by myself. But I would not recommend it. It took me three hours. And I almost gave up. It was very difficult to maneuver three separate pieces while trying to screw in the sideboards. And I wish the short legs were wooden. The quality seems a little cheap. And I had to readjust them multiple times when screwing them in. The bed sits very low to the ground. So if you are a younger person I feel this would be perfect. When I finally finished I laid the mattress inside. The platform bed states that it is a full-size. And the mattress I ordered states it is full sized also. But as you can see from the photos the mattress is much smaller than the bed. And there is way too much space between the headboards the sideboards and the footboard. I will need a new mattress. I have not called customer service yet. But I have no doubt that they will be very cooperative. They always are.
