I ordered 2 of these for my master bedroom.  I expected a lot of assembly work. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the boxes and they were already assembled.  You just attach the legs and knobs. I replaced the silver ones with some gold ones to match my decor. When attaching the legs, there were 3 peices- a washer, a small ring, and a bolt.  The instructions said to use all 3 pieces to attach the legs. I had trouble getting the bolts to catch. Once I took out the small rings, they worked just fine.  I would recommend skipping the small rings as they didnt seem to contribute to the stability of the furniture and caused problems during assembly. These are a perfect height for platform beds.
