Bed arrived within just a couple days of ordering. When I opened the box, I was a bit overwhelmed at first by all the parts. But once I took the time to lay everything out and looked at the instructions it was fine. I'm a 75 year old woman and I put this bed together all by myself. The parts and instructions were very clear. And everything I needed was in the box. Extra screws were included just in case. Bed went together easy.  I'm not sure how long it took because I was busy watching Nascar while putting the bed together. It's a beautiful bed and solid. I'll add photos once I get the mattress on and bedding on.
