The bed was easy to install. I built it in 45 minutes but that was because i messed up on some of the screws. The bed came in good condition with the exception of some rust stains on the frame and bed sled, and a bent leg from the frame, but it is nothing noticeable (I didn't notice it until after i built the bed.) I do recommend that if you are putting this bed on tile or wood floor, to buy a carpet for it as it does easily slide or put it against the wall.
