The bed took almost 3 hours to put together, tedious but easy to follow directions.  I was disappointed that the foot of the bed was broken from shipping, but the mattress covers the hole so it isn't visible.  The shippers/manufacturers need to provide much better cushioning for the bed or else others may run into this same problem.  Good quality bed for the low price I paid however.

Pros: Easy to follow directions, appears more expensive then it was
Cons: Shipping left a huge hole in the wood
