I assembled this alone, wasn't too big of a deal. My only advice would be to connect the 4 big platform pieces to the end cap/mattress-stop BEFORE screwing the platform pieces into the frame. The end cap/mattress-stop piece is going to line up your big platform pieces beforehand. This prevents you from screwing the big platform pieces into the frame with 50 screws, only to realize it was ever-so-slightly off-center and your end cap/mattress-stop piece won't attach completely, so now you have to unscrew, realign, and rescrew all 50 of those SOBs. The last step in the instructions is to insert the drawer, let's ignore that step for now. Basically what you need to do is do the last step before the second-to-last step (omitting the drawer step). Confusion, but it will make sense when you read the instructions.

Otherwise, it seems solid so far, and is perfect for what I need.
