We love this bed. We had all of the pieces and parts needed to assemble and then some. My husband and I put it together in under 3 hours. There were pieces that came assemble that cut down time such as the drawers and the slats on a  strap. It is incredibly sturdy and is truly a solid piece of furniture. Something that I wish I would have know is that the dark finish is very glossy which makes it beautiful but also easily shows finger prints and smudges.  Other than that, we are super happy with this bed and highly recommend it.
