The finished product is nice, happy with that part. I would, however, strongly suggest two people work on the assembly- I did it by myself and it was two full days of screwing things together. It's not an easy assembly, but it helped laying out all the parts by step before starting. Also, the instructions say not to secure the frame to the platform until the end, but making everything square is right at the beginning and with all the assembly things quickly got out of alignment. Made things a bit tough towards the end. If I had to do it again I would attach the initial frame once perfectly square then proceed with step 2.
