I purchased this bed last week and got it delivered yesterday. It took about 2 hours to put it together completely including the memory foam mattress I purchased. Assembly was not difficult however you will need someone's assistance to help you screw in the head and foot boards. Also it's a good idea to lay out all the parts so you can move on and go to the next step. For the price, it's a nice sturdy bed. Can't wait to sleep on it tonight to see how I sleep.
