Quick assembly, pretty intuitive even if you don't assemble furniture regularly. Helps to have 2 people to stabilize. We've had this bed assembled for approximately a week now. I have whacked a toe on the middle support a couple of times since then, but if that's my biggest complaint, I should be more careful. Bed so good that it kept me awake ... I woke up multiple times the first night because I was too excited that we upgraded from a full to a king sized bed. It's shorter than I anticipated. Pictured is a 10" hybrid mattress with no box spring, obviously. Forgive us for having a less fancy set up relative to the other reviews. This was a quick quarantine renovation of a previously empty room with in-need-of-repairing, sad walls. 

Bottom line: it looks nice, it doesn't break the bank, it's easy to assemble, and it feels pretty solid. No regrets.
