I bought this in Queen/ black and i received it the day after it said it was shipped!(Purchased on a thursday, received the next wednesday) It only took me about 2 hours to assemble by myself (female, 5'2, little experience and not very strong). It's heavy in the box so i had help getting it into my room but did everything else myself. The instructions aren't very helpful so i watched a youtube video to see how a similar bed was put together and that helped. The slats are the most difficult (annoying) but everything went together very well. The quality is better than i expected. The headboard isn't very tall, with an 11 inch mattreses & two pillows you can only see the top of the rhinestones and above. There is also space between the side of the mattress and the bed where you can see the slats. I dont mind because my duvet hangs over the side so i don't ever see them. I've only had it about a week and half but so far I'm impressed!
