Fair warning, the bed seems to arrive in about a million pieces...However, don't let that scare you.  The instructions are fairly clear, the pieces marked, with extra hardware~just in case!  Another fair warning, the bed does quite a bit of rattling, until you get all of the bed put together~then it is SOLID! We bought a Full over Full bed.  It took me, my hubby, and our 2 teenager daughters just over an hour to assemble.  Our girls LOVE it!
