This bed was super easy to put together. I was able to do it by myself in about 15-20 minutes. The only negative is how low it sits. This was purchased for a cabin on a river so we wanted something that wouldn't block the view. We are going to purchase a box spring to raise up the mattress a bit. If it were 6-8 inches taller, I'd give it 5 stars. Much better with a box spring.
