Had a handyman assemble this among others and he was done with this in no time! I haven't started using it as the matriss hasn't yet arrived but I love the look. I got the queen size, now thinking a king size would have been better but the guests will have to make do, I guess. The fabric of the upholstery is nice to touch. The headboard is not as soft and fluffy as it looks on the picture, though.
