Hard to put together if you don't at least have a little power drill.  Took 3 hours to assemble and it was so difficult, I didn't even bother finishing the platform hardware.  Came with a big chip in the wood.  Pointy corners, I'm going to get some guards for that!  Also, the drawers are little hard to get too.  Other than that, it's an okay bed.  I guess you get what you pay, beds just don't come cheap.
