My Husband easily and quickly put it together. He tends to be the kinda guy who complains about the quality and it was quite the opposite, he was impressed with how well built it was and the wrungs having the added Velcro so they wouldn’t skip. Bed seems real solid and looks great. We opted to use just the mattress as it shows more of the pretty headboard. It’s my 21-year old sons bed and he loves it.
