Easy to assemble and I was really impressed with the way it came packed. At first I thought “oh no they only sent me part of it, or I got sent the wrong item”... not the case at all! All of the parts come stored in the back of the hollow headboard! How smart is that!? The instructions are really easy to follow and it looks great all put together. The grey is a little more sage/grey in person IMO than the cooler tone grey shown. But over all, I’m super happy with this purchase!
