My husband assembled this by himself and he said it was easy and he had no issues! The color and quality are lovely, just as expected from the photos. I’m also pleased that my husband actually liked this bed because it was a complete surprise to him! ) It adds a bit of sophistication without being too fancy. The fabric feels sturdy too. One minor issue is that the bed frame is just a few inches longer than our mattress (we have one of those gel mattress things). Once the bedding was put on you really couldn’t tell though and the sides were a perfect fit.
