Love the bed. Great appearance. I put it together on my own after reading the reviews and found it mostly straight forward. However, the holes on one arm of the hydraulic lift, which was already assembled, had been misaligned, which meant the next part of the bed couldn't be attached. I had to undo the screws and re-align, which took some significant time as they had been overtightened and it was really difficult to release. After this it went together fine. The instructions say to turn the bed on its side to attach the bottom sheet, but with a kingsize bed this was very difficult.
