I put it together within a few hours. It is super easy to put together and comes with many spare pieces. The hardest part was getting the slats in. To do so, I had to push on one side while my roommate pushed the other to fit the bars into the secure notches. If I hadn’t had my roommate there, I’m not sure I could’ve made enough force on both sides to get the slats to fit. Overall, it’s very sturdy and stable. There is absolutely no squeaking, which is amazing.
