Beautiful bed and fairly easy to put together. It took roughly an hour to put together myself without the use of power tools, would have gone quicker with my husbands help but I wanted to see how long it would take on my own. I did use my own tools, not the ones provided with the bed. Seems to be a quality bed for the price, its in our guestroom so it will only get used 30-50 nights a year...we live in Florida so we get guests more often but its still not a nightly use bed.
