I LOVED the instructions, really Ive never been that impressed with furniture construction instructions. I put it together by myself and it was easy (just triple check everything as your going), I love how it looks, feels sturdy, no one has slept on it yet but it feels like a good bed. The only negative is that it has to off gas for 1-2 weeks, the mattress starts out smelling strongly of wet paint (probably flame retardant chemicals) just leave a window open and burn candles in the room if you can and dont try to sleep on it for at last a week. But once it is done smelling it is a really lovely rustic coach.
