Very simple. My son assembled it by himself and it is very sturdy. The bed looked elegant and presentable. Wonderful find from Wayfair, my new to go place for shipping. I originally ordered another bed and received it with damage parts, probably, due to shipping and handling. Wayfair gave me back full refund after sending them an email attached with photos. Great customer service. They did not even want me to return the damaged bed. Thank you very much.
