I've waited for this bed for weeks to restock, I purchased the pink queen bed. The color is a very soft pink like the picture except a little lighter in person which works for me. It came with a leg that wasn't a match but Wayfair sent the replacements very fast. It took me about an hour to put together by myself with breaks so I will say the assembly should take no more than 30-45 minutes with one or two people. There are 4 simple steps to assembling the bed, none of the assemblings steps are difficult, I want to emphasize that.
