The bed is high quality relative to price; looks nice. I found the instructions helpful and u would be smart to heed the warning to have a second set of hands, for at least the first part. I was able to assemble the entire thing myself (50 yo female), but took a couple hours. The reason I am giving this a 4 star is some of the bolts that go with the saddle nuts, were completely screwed up threadwise. I didn't wanna wait for them to send replacements, so I spent 20 mins  tracking the right ones down at home depot. There were only 4 bad of the 16, but I just didn't wanna leave the at many out of a structure that needs to be solid . I would not hesitate to recommend this bed to someone, but be prepared for things to not be perfect.
