After reading some of the reviews on this bed, I was leery about assembling the bed. I started putting it together and to my surprise, was a lot easier to put together than I thought. It is easier if there are 2 people doing it, but one person can certainly assemble this bed by themselves. The only downside
to this bed is the weight limit. I missed the weight limit in the description (225 lbs.) and might not have purchased the bed if I had known. This is supposed to be an adult bed, so why would the limit 
be 225 lbs? I will be getting additional slats for the bed to reinforce it. That should help if 2 people want to sleep on it.  Besides the weight limit, this is quite a nice looking bed. I purchased a 10" mattress for this bed and it fits fine. 


Pros: great value, very nice lookng, easy to put together
Cons: low weight limit (225 lbs)
