Needs 2 people to put this together, took around 2.5 hours. Instructions were not very clear and had to check via u tube. Frame was very slightly out of shape when finished but doesn't effect the overall working of mechanism. Once assembled and made up looks great in spare room, we bought a double as only for guests but if wanting for main room would definitely go king!! Storage is a big bonus,  note though the base for storage is just a sheet attached by Velcro which I knew beforehand so not a problem. Overall pleased with finished product
