Easy to assemble and it’s not to bad except we bought a king size one for our king mattress but you could see down in the drawers from the sides and foot of bed. Well now we have a California king mattress and there is still gaps on both sides of the bed (just not the foot of the bed now)!!!! So you can see right down in the drawers and I think it looks so tacky. The whole point of this bed was to have some discrete drawers and save space, but I have to keep a big comforter on the bed so no one can see  in the drawers! So annoying, but other than that it’s not bad! Also if your mattress is any thicker than three inches ( who has a three inch mattress!) then most of the head of the bed is covered (making it a neck board, not head board)! My mattress is a average thickness purple mattress.
