It only took us a couple of hours to put together. Directions could have been better. I did have a coupon but it said it wasn’t valid even though it wasn’t expired. Some of the screws broke while assigning. The drawers don’t really stay in place. The plastic pieces to keep them from sliding further are a joke. The headboard came with a discoloration on one side. Also the gap in the headboard is a wonderful place for pillows to disappear into. I’m just happy it was on sale.
