Easy assembly! Put together (in less time than it took me to unbox and clean up packing) almost entirely by myself except for the headboard which required a second set of hands for balance. Ive gone back a week later and tightened most of the bolts and may add some loctitetemporary threadlocker to those that continue to back out. Other reviews commented on styrofoam mess - all of my styrofoam packing was individually bagged in plastic which was tidy, but wasteful.
