I am the Mom and I put the bed together by myself in a about 2hrs.  Drawers are easy to assemble, similar to that of Ikea furniture.  Had two extra pieces at the end that were NOT anywhere in the instructions????  Nothing missing and bed seems fine.  My only issue was with Wayfair's shipping time and correspondence of such.  Ordered the bed on 1/4/2015 and received it on 1/12/15.  Seemed a bit long for one item.  I received an email from Wayfair that stated it would be delivered on 1/08/15.  I received nothing else from Wayfair.  Had to keep tracking it myself on FedEx's site.  I don't know if this was Wayfair's mistake or Fedex's.  They were not on the same page for sure. 5 stars for the bed...3 stars for shipping issues.

Pros: Good value
Cons: Shipping issues
