We love the Murphy Bed. One section was already assembled (the lower part), the top section was not difficult to assemble, the instructions were easy, however, there were some alignment issues with some of the screw holes. We simply drilled through and enlarged the hole. Please note: It is a two-person job. The bed is solid wood and heavy. No partial board! YEAH! The mattress is nice, though we will add a gel topper for additional comfort, overall, it's great. You did good Wayfair! - C. Sproles
