Easy to assemble. Some of the holes weren't perfect, but we made do (as you can see from the nails I couldn't screw in). The drawers also have a tarp like thing to put on the bottom of the drawer, but it's hard to attach (well it was for me) because they are velcro straps. It doesn't really matter for us because we intend to fill the storage with sheets and bedding. The bed seems sturdy enough for our 4 year old and the storage is helpful. We didn't do the plug though because our 4yo is sleeping there and so we don't want him to play around with it. :D Looks like just pictured!
