Very difficult to put together. We paid someone who does furniture assembly and it took them 6 hours. The biggest problem with this item is the off-gas. It's been a month since we've had it. I've left the windows open and the door shut to continue to air it out and it still stinks. I am not comfortable having my daughter sleep in her room or even play in it because the chemical smell is SO strong. It's a toxic piece of furniture.
