Love it! It was not difficult to assemble! It does take a friend. Two people (women) about 2.5 hours. We did not rush it!  A few years ago, my husband and son-in-law spent 2 days putting one together. I almost didn’t buy this bed because of that experience. But I’m extremely glad that I did but this one. Easy to put together with a friend.  I will say that the finished product is bigger than I expected…. I’m very happy in spite of that!
