This bed is super cute once you put it together. It wasn't hard to put together except the two side rails that connect in the middle bowed out a bit and the support slats were a little difficult to screw in place. It felt like we were going to break something with how much force we needed to use to push the two sides together but it came together and required 2 of us. It would have made more sense if the side rails were one long piece each. Still, overall, we're happy with the final product and our daughter loves her new bed!
