Great Bed! After it was delivered, I stared at the box leaning on the wall for a few weeks before I got up the nerve to attempt to put it together. I am a senior with a bad back and terrible knees, and I was quite intimidated by the shear scope of the project of assembling a bed like this.
As it turned out, my fears were baseless, as this bed is well packaged and pretty easy to assemble. Each part (and there are many) is packaged individually in its own bag and clearly labeled. They even included an extra of each screw, nut bolt! Necessary tools are also included. The only thing extra I needed was a pair of pliers to straighten out a slightly bent post so the insert would fit into it. Easy for me to do and no other issues.
The instructions are all pictures/ no words, and they are OK. Read through completely and make sure you understand them before you start. If there appear to be extra holes in a part, look ahead in the instructions so you aim them correctly for the next step.
The instructions indicated that this should take 2 people 30 minutes to complete. I was able to complete it in about 2.5 hours by myself, taking a lot of short breaks, and I am very proud of myself!
I am very pleased with this bed. It is very sturdy, doesnt squeak at all, and looks great!
MUCH better than I expected
