Read the directions thoroughly, add brackets to secure to wall
I thought it was really easy to set up given Ive never set up furniture. If you take the time to organize your pieces by letter and read the directions step by step you should not have any issues as they make it super clear for you. Having a third person to help hold pieces together is SUPER helpful. The hardest part is when you need to assemble the bars that hold the front and the ends together, if they arnt held well theyll keep falling off and you cant screw one at a time because once they are screwed in the other two bars wont be able to be put on, so you need to give each one a little leeway and they all need to be put on at the same time. I thought maybe laying it flat on the floor instead of holding everything up maybe would have made it easier. The material is the same stuff furniture is made out of so you cant force anything or itll split. I took the advice of another persons review and added more brackets to secure the bed to the wall and I definitely recommend that. Im 26 and I feel completely comfortable on the bed. So far Im happy with my purchase.
