Unpack and locate all parts first and you're good to go! When we read the reviews on the bed before we purchased it, everyone had said the bed was difficult to put together, but my husband and I didn't have too hard of a time.  What was confusing was the parts were distributed all over. There were some screws taped onto the frame that belonged to the legs, etc. So it just made it odd. The directions weren't written too well, but my husband is good at directions so we didn't have any problems. Like I said, if you just unpack and locate all the parts first, it's really easy to set up! As for the quality of the bed, it is very nice, beautiful and just gorgeous!
