This bed shipped so quickly! The assembly isn’t too bed and all the tools needed are provided. I do recommend setting all the pieces in a separate room to ensure you have enough space to put the bed together because there are lots of them. Each part is labeled and the instructions were simple. The metal is not very heavy, so I wouldn’t recommend jumping on the bed. This is not a piece of furniture to be considered an “investment” piece, it’s definitely a temporary piece and if cared for properly might last you at least five years.
