Super easy to assemble. It literally took me 15 minutes (I timed myself, and I’m not very handy!). They included a ratchet-type Allen wrench which really helped. Very simple, sturdy design. The included slats for the bed are held in place with Velcro to the frame to keep them from slipping ( my last bedframe was not, and the slats were constantly falling out of the frame ). Great quality for the price!
