Like other reviewers, the quality isn't quite what you pay for but it works well and seems sturdy. Bed is pretty comfortable. I was able to assemble by myself in about 3 hours. Just needed help once to lift the folding base on to screw in the hinges which weren't pre drilled. That was the only downfall of the assembly but I managed...and I'm a girl. You will need a dirll since there were no pre drilled holes for anything that required the screws.
