Very easy to assemble. Was able to do it on my own in a couple of hours. My daughter has a small room and doesn’t have much storage space, which is why we went with this style of bed. I’m also still able to easily store things underneath in containers. In other reviews, it was stated that the frame part seems bigger than the actual full size mattress. This is true, and somewhat shows, but is not a big issue as her comforter can draped over the exposed area.
