We bought this bed on a Sunday evening and it arrived Friday during the day. My husband and I started unpacking boxes around 12:30 and we were completely done around 5:30/6.
Most of the instructions were clear. There were one or two that weren't, such as the number of holes on the sliders. I think it said to put the screw in the 9th hole, when in reality it was the 15th hole. That being said, assembly was not difficult, but it required patience. It helped to have two people. I can't imagine trying to do this by myself. The bed required quite a few tools and we did bust out the power tools for the drawers.
When we put the drawers in, one side was bowing a little and the other was a bit concave. By the time we pushed the bed to where we wanted it, the drawers looked fine and it is not at all noticeable with bedding on.
So far, we are very pleased. I think the consumer needs to weigh their priorities when purchasing this bed. In our case, it was cost and efficiency. If you are buying this bed thinking you are getting a $1500 quality king-sized bed, you will be disappointed. If you are buying it with realistic expectations, you will be very pleased.
Patience and two people
