Im normally skeptical of put it together yourself projects. The directions were pretty straight forward. It would be nice if all of the parts were labeled so you didnt have to try and figure them out. There were two spots that it didnt seem to matter which one of the two pieces I used but then later on, it mattered and of course, they had to be moved.
The final product is very sturdy and it has an absolutely beautiful finish. Some other reviews mentioned a horrible smell, I did not notice this at all. The product comes in two boxes and the wood is well protected from getting scratches from the other pieces. It is most definitely easier if 2 people can work on this together, its less of a balancing act, but I was able to do it myself. I also used a drill to screw all of the long bolts in, which made it a little easier on the arm/hand. The bit needed is a 5/32 hex.
I would recommend this to others!
Gorgeous, sturdy bed!
