The headboard was a bit difficult to put together even with two people doing it.  You had to have two people in order to line up the pegs to attach the slats to the legs. The screw holes on the legs were not pre-drilled on the legs.  So needless to say you needed the muscle and strength to attach the headboard onto the two legs.  It definitely is a two person job.  Once we had it put together though, we really like the way it looks.  Very heavy and sturdy.
