The bed is pretty easy to put together even though I was a bit overwhelmed at first. Once I got started it went quickly. Very sturdy but be very careful with the pieces. I found them to chip easily. One board had a ding in it. It's on the front side but I think the pillows and bedspread will hide it.

Pros: Great value, easy to put together, very pretty
Cons: probably wouldn't disassemble this bed too much--worried some pieces would chip easily
