Easy to assemble, and you cannot beat the value of this bed and nightstands. I did not know the tuffed buttons were rhinestones though! That was a shock! I was going to make this my sons room, now…, it is a guest room bed… haha I wish it was just velvet buttons. I might see if I can find button covers. I would recommend this for a girls room or guest room. However, the buttons are pretty disappointing.
