Actually easier to put together than I thought...did it by myself! The headboard was a little tough to get the screws lined up...might have been easier with another person helping...everything else went together easily until one of the fenials wouldn't go in easily and I had to hammer it in...caused a little dent in it since it's metal :( otherwise, love my new bed! It's a knockoff of a pottery barn $1000+ bed...very classy design! Got delivered in 2 boxes btw.
