Was somewhat time-consuming to assemble. But my husband used to work in a furniture warehouse, so nothing he couldn’t handle. We also needed to add a hole behind the outlets so that the cords can hide behind the bed instead of draping over the front of the headboard. I’ve included a picture of what we did with the cords, a drawing of what it looked like before, and a close up picture of the upholstery so you can see the texture. I wasn’t sure what it would be like based on the product pictures.
