This is a tricky question. It depends on whether it is a DIY job or a professional installation. Professional installers will use their expertise to install the bed efficiently, which can take about 2 to 3 hours depending on the design of the bed, the condition of your walls, stud locations, etc. We preinstall a lot before we come to your home. A complicated job can take up to 5 hours. A DIY job can take much longer or be done far too fast (and incorrectly) if you don’t use the proper procedure to ensure the bed is safe and secure!
