Its not that bad to put together and it looks great when done!!
I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this bed knowing I would likely have to set it up myself . admittedly I was scared. But i did it! I put this thing together by myself. Im not saying it was a piece of cake but honestly I think if I had help, it would have been worse. It took me two hours, but I was also watching tv. I did get tripped up three times. When I did the first side, I figured out pretty quickly I had a piece upside down. Once fixed, no issues until the last two steps. When attached the top piece 2 of the holes had some debris in them so I did have to clean out some leftover wood pieces. And then the very last step attach the legs first!! It definitely helps in knowing which way the slats go. It feels extremely sturdy and a single mattress fits perfectly under it. I do still need to get a trundle but wanted to see the frame done first. So all said its not that bad!! Use the enclosed direction pictures. Have a beer by your side. And just do it. This room definitely needed something like this, as I didnt want to give up the double guest bed I already had.
