It’s easy to put together. You just have to pay attention to the pictures. All the details matter. I did it by my self. Not go lie my back hurt afterwards . Once it’s put together it’s truly a beautiful bed. I got 14 inch mattress because i didn’t want it over the bed but it’s a lil part that makes me wish i would’ve just got a 15 inch mattress. Just get a 15 inch mattress you’ll be good
