I just put this bed together yesterday. I started at 315pm and finished about 715 so it took me about 4 hours. Its not hard to put together at all the only thing I would say is that there is a lot of screwing with the alanwrench. A lot. My fingers tips are a little sore. I love the extra drawer space.  I give it a 4 star because of all the screws and because i wish the drawers were made out of wood. And i wish the headboard was a little higher because i dont have any extra space to put my boxsprings. Since i had a metal frame before
