Im really petite 5ft tall and I was able to assemble this bed myself. It did take about 3hrs but the instructions were so easy to follow I actually enjoyed doing it. Have some patience with yourself and if you have someone to help definitely get that help when needing to attach the top part of the frame. Its really sturdy I followed the instructions and didnt tighten all the bolts until the parts were all in place. It doesnt rattle or shift when I get in or out of the bed. My mattress is high enough (15) so I didnt add a box spring that saved me some coin. I couldve went with a lower mattress and it wouldve been really cute but I have a thing for pillow tops. The value of this frame, and the quality, for the price is a no brainer you must buy. Very nice.
If your considering THIS IS THE ONE.
