The bed was fairly easy to assemble and it came with awesome instructions. The only problem was that it was slightly rusty on the inside (I'm not sure why) .  Also one of the wood boards that gets bolted on the top of the bed had it's holes drilled slightly off (1/4-1/2 in)  making it difficult to align. Other than that I cannot complain! It is heavy duty and it's a very smooth operation.
