This bed is fantastic. The instructions were okay to put together. You definitely need two people to put it together. Overall the holes were pre-made except for putting the feet on the bed. That was a bit challenging and could have been done before putting the frame together. Overall, it's just what we were looking for. 

The only downside was this was NOT in stock as indicated over the last two months and took a whole two months to get to us. As they're the only one with this style that my husband was wanting, we just had to sit and wait.
