This was very easy to put together by myself, my son did help with some screws and putting down the boards that velcro into place. This bed is pretty low to the ground, it’s 6 inches off the ground so keep that in mind. This is more affordable than my first choice on Wayfair that has a taller headboard and is higher off the ground. I went with this one due to our budget. It’s not my first choice it I do love it for our sons room.
