Okay so this is really beautiful. I got it in the gold. But I don’t know how anyone could put this together alone. Im not super handy but I have no problems following directions and putting furniture together. But this…OMG. The part that’s super difficult is trying to put together the bars for the actual frame that holds the mattress because they do not screw in they just twist in. They kept falling out. I got that far, gave up, and slept on the couch that night because my bed was up on a wall and I left everything for the frame on the floor. Had my boyfriend help me the next night and it took us probably 2 hours to get it figured out but truly just read the directions carefully (or to put it better, look at the pictures) and you will be fine. I definitely would plan on a friend helping because I can’t imagine some parts of this being assembled without one. If you have the time and patience it’s great. I really recommend it!
