This was easy to put together. Took my husband approximately 45 minutes to put together. The only complaint I have is that there is approximately a 3 inch gap in the back once mattress is on. Its possible I have an odd shaped mattress and thats why it doesnt quite fit. I ended up stuffing pillows in the back so sleeping pillows do not creep down in space and adding body pillow to help with this issue. I bought this for a guest room . Its a pretty color and I like the mid century look of it. As expected for the price.
