This is a great bed. My son absolutely loves it. It took my husband and I about 2 hours to assemble. It’s helpful to have a power screwdriver, a second person with muscles, a tape measure and common sense. Some of the pieces are numbered and some you have to take an educated guess to identify. I would also say assemble it in the room it will remain in. Seems cumbersome to move around a lot. It all worked out and the bed is very safe and sturdy.
