I set this bed up mostly by myself and with my toddler.  There are a couple of moments where working with another adult is definitely helpful but if its just you then you can work around it.

It took longer than the 30 minutes and when tightening the lock nuts the tools provided are slightly inadequately but will eventually work.

The small screws were loose in the large box but all were accounted for.  The bed arrived a day early and although the box had been banged up, the bed was in good shape (no dings or scratches).  It is well made and appears to be of good quality.  

After sleeping on the floor for the last 10 days Im really looking forward to sleeping on this bed.  It is clean and simple and suits my husband and my style.  I will update this review after a fingers crossed a good nights sleep. 

We purchased the King size frame and it is accurate in size.
