Have owned this bed for 1 year now. Single sized version is possible to assemble by 1 person, although a little tricky at first. The bed has been dismantled and reassembled once since then - frame is still sturdy and lifting mechanism as good as new. Worth noting the bottom of the storage compartment is just a polyester sheet Velcro'd to the underside of the bed but does the job in protecting clothes/bedding etc from the floor.
