Absolutely LOVE THIS BED!!!  It was super easy to put together.  You just need a screwdriver and the hex keys that are provided with the bed.  I had it put together in under an hour.  It's gorgerous to look at, fits the room perfectly and I sleep like a princess!  

I did buy a 12" plush mattress and a 4" down topper so I am sleeping on 16" of pure comfort.  This bed supports it all and looks great!
