well it took  two of us 3 hours to put it together. it is flimsy and made out of fake wood
it is mainly particle boards bed. There  r hundreds of wood parts for headboards platform and footboard. hardware dowels and screws not labled correctly so one of the plank on the headboard cracked.while we were putting together planks on the headboard. i am sure  going to ask to send me new planks  and see what they say. i would not recommed this bed. u r better off paying little more and buy solid wood bed than this fake wood bed. it is particle boards made out of saw dust .  we tried to move the bed after it was assembled so we can center it in the bedroom and man we felt it was going to collapse . it is junk bed.
