The assembly took about half an hour, but can be quicker with a second person while erecting the headboard and laying the slats. The ratchet tool included came in handy especially when hand tightening the headboard to the rails . I used a cordless drill to speed up the process with torque setting at low, though probably not recommended and for a good reason. Opted to go with a 10 inch memory foam mattress and the bed is quite comfortable. I would purchase this product again. Nice color and easy to assemble
