I read so many reviews on this bed and many others before choosing this one. It is simple to put together, easy to follow instructions. One person with a great attitude could tackle but I will say it’s easier on some steps if two people build it. It’s very sturdy, the color of the wood matches my other bedroom furniture perfectly. I chose 
the gray upholstery for the headboard and it looks even better in person. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because once we almost had it completely assembled we 
noticed 2 obvious scratches on the wood. I’m just going to get some stain to cover 
them up.
