Really nice bed frame. It took my son by himself little less then 3 hours. He had really had no problem assembling it. He did say a few pictures were confusing. He did say having a shorty screwdriver to put many of the screws in. It will make it easier then the tool it comes with. It looks great. I would suggest getting a thin vertical bunkie board for under mattress. The slats are rather far apart, we ordered a bunkie board to give mattress more support. The lights look great and its a big upgrade for the room. Its really strong and makes no noises.
