The was the most challenging piece of furniture I have ever put together and I have put together a lot of pieces. I can usually tell the quality by how easily the screws go in and these were very difficult to screw in. The directions were pretty non-helpful, especially on the drawer slides. I've done these before so I knew how to put them in since the drawings were useless. But, the organization of the pieces was good and the bed is pretty once completed. It took me 3.5 hrs to complete.
