Good item, took 2+ hours to put together, but I was on my own and they suggested 2 people to assemble it on the instructions. A few tiny missing bits - of little consequence. The bed is solid, sound and sturdy. Actually good value for money, stylish at the affordable end of your money (my spare bedroom which is used 2-3 days a year). You could do far worse! Get your head around building it though, whether you are on your own or with another, all do-able if you are single, just stick with it!!
