Great bed and solid!  My husband put it together, alone, effortlessly.  But he is a skilled craftsman, so it might have been harder for someone less experienced.  It is super tall from the floor to the base, so DO NOT plan to have a box spring if you have a plush pillow top mattress!  When put together, it was too tall to get on without a step. We had to remove our box spring and put plywood on the bed rails and go with just our mattress. Sleeps well and the way it is built a box spring is not necessary.  In fact the plywood was probably overkill, but we wanted more support on our new mattress.
Good quality and nice look!
