Very easy assembly, instructions recommend 5 persons. My son and I did it with very little problems. It does help if one of you is tall. The parts are all labeled extremely well, especially the nuts and bolts. They were all packaged together as they are needed in the instructions. It is heavy and seems to be well made. As in other reviews the rings for the curtains and mosquito netting seem a bit flimsy, their longevity still has to be determined. They do give you quite a few extras. Overall I believe this was a very good buy and highly recommend this product.
