Very difficult to put together.  Took over 5 hours with two people.  They don't tell you this but you absolutely need a power drill with a Phillips bit because otherwise it would take much longer to put together and things that we had put together were coming loose.  You can get the same kind of bed with better construction that takes only 30 minutes to put together at Living Spaces.  After we put this bed together, we found the Sedona bed at Living Spaces.  Much nicer bed with a fraction of the hassle.
