I bought this bed because I needed something simple and that I would be able to move around on my own easily. I’ve never put together furniture, I’d have to say this was very simple. It did take me about 2.5-3 hours, but only because I didn’t have anyone to help me lift and balance pieces while putting the legs together. Directions were easy to follow and the set came with the only tool you need. I actually had fun doing this, only negative would be the weight of the pieces, my roommate had to help me drag it inside. Great quality wood. Great price.
