I'm mildly disappointed with this piece. It does look nice in my space, but the quality isn't what I've grown used to with Wayfair. As other people commented, the back piece is pretty flimsy. It definitely could benefit from another board going across for strength. As for assembly, there were absolutely no instructions. But there are only a few pieces so it wasn't that hard to figure it out with a little common sense. That said, it took about an hour for 2 adults to get it done. Overall, it seems like it will work well enough as a guest bed for visiting grandkids. I'm not sure if I would recommend it though. We'll see how well it stands up to toddlers, first.
