I’ve just put this bed together. It was hard with just one person to put together the queen size. I asked a family member for a bit of help, which probably saved me another half hour, but mostly put it together myself. One screw in the headboard would not thread into the hole at all. I spent 20-30 minutes just trying to get that screw to thread. Everything else went together perfectly. I’m tired from moving, sick, disabled, and grieving the death of a relative and the death of my cat- so it took me about 1 12- 2 hrs to get this put together, including the unboxing. I’m very good at putting together furniture. I usually enjoy the process, but I had to work very slowly on this one. I’d recommend 2 people putting it together. It would be a lot quicker and easier with more than one person.
