I read the reviews of how difficult this was to assemble and was not swayed. This is a great bed, and was not the easiest to assemble but wasnt as difficult as I read. Dont get me wrong, its for the faint of heart and if you dont pay close attention to detail then I would steer clear. I did have to take it apart about three different times because of my lack of paying close attention to detail but had it all together in about 3 hours, longer because of how far I was into it when I had to take it back apart and at one point I thought I knew better. Bed is very sturdy and can handle more weight than it claims. Overall, great size, very nice looking, and holds up to a great deal of abuse from my family and I. Definitely would purchase and assemble again if for nothing else, the challenge of beating my previous time!
Dont listen to the naysayers!
