Edit:
since I bought 2, assembled by myself and not the same day… the second bed had an issue with one pole not correctly lining up, which happen to be one of the post that attached to the headboard. The pre drilled hole to use for the bolts to hold them together was off, and sat too high. However, I was able to use a diamond bit to drill lower for it, and used threadlock to prevent it from being pulled out. Not ideal, but, I’m a single mom, and since I have my hands full I missed the return date by a week and had to make it work.
Original review:
The directions stated it would take two or more people to assemble the bed. It was only a twin, and I managed to put it together by myself. Now, it also said assembly takes about an hour, but doing it alone took me about two-two and half hours start to finish.
All the bolts were righted well after the bed was fully together, and since it was for my daughter, we added some sheer drapes over the bars and she said she felt like a princess.
It’s lightweight, which means I can move it without help, but it’s also sturdy enough that I could sleep on it as an adult.
Tools were included, however, the tool they gave to tighten the nuts was basically useless, I used my own which saved me a lot of time.
As a single mom, I recommend for anyone who would consider putting it together alone, or moving it alone. These are important factors for some people, so I hope that information is helpful to those who consider it important, like myself.
Easy enough for a single momma
