This bed is really cute and not that difficult to put together, although it is definitely easier with two people.  However... the wood planks that make up the frame and bottom slats is extremely flimsy.  My boyfriend and I have had the bed for only two months and one of the main braced have already snapped in half and this happened from the two of us sitting on the bottom of the bed at the same time, so I am concerned about the life of the bed.
