I love this platform! I put it together myself in a couple of hours. I laughed when I saw the directions had approximate time next to each step. My first thought was bite me. The directions were pretty clear, but I would make one small change. You have these little connectors that you are supposed to insert in the holes provided when you begin assembling sides and drawer hangers for the frame and then proceed to the other steps. Save yourself some aggravation and dont bother. They are loose in the openings and fall out every time you move the piece to its next position. Just wait until you have to actually use that connector, then insert it. It will save you chasing the dang things around the room. Once its assembled, its very solid. The only negative is the slats under the mattress. I would have wished they were held in place a little better instead of being so movable. I have a memory foam mattress on top and getting it on there by myself and having to readjust the slats was more work than putting the thing together!
Well worth the money.
