Fairly easy to put together.  Occasionally needed another person to help. One of the feet was really hard to screw in. Once screwed to the footboard, the foot just swung around. see image. Would have attached video for a better visual. Needed some extra muscle to screw it all the way in.  Got it in a full the light beige. The wood on the support pieces for the three slats were splintered and had to be sanded down.  They were also wood filled, which is horrible quality! Overall, satisfied with the look of the bed. No issues with the upholstery.
