I could put the bed together in 2 hours as a single individual working on my own. However, the instructions could have been clearer and in this day and age I do really think a video should be available. Bed looks attractive and was exactly as described. It was delivered on time with great advance notice. Ottoman lifting is brilliant and masses of space underneath. I would give it a 4 or 5 if the slats were stronger but the slats definitely feel like they are not long for this world. I'm not terribly heavy but I wouldn't dare 'flop' onto this bed, or even stand on it - you get the feeling its ok if the weight is evenly spread but it just feels a bit too fragile.
