I bought this for my 4yr old daughter. I am 4'10" and it took me less than 1 hour to put it together. My daughter insisted that she help put in the slats, which she did with no difficulty. The instructions were easy to follow and it comes with a tool (it's all you need). The off-white patent leather is beautiful and glossy. The crystal accents on the headboard were an added touch to make my daughter feel like a princess. It is easy to disassemble the frame should you decide to move. I would recommend this panel bed to others.
