Im a 32 year old female who put this bed together alone in about 2 hours. If you dont have a drill, expect it to take a lot longer.
The bed looks nice and is sturdy. My complaint is with the handling by the manufacturer. This arrived with a 1 puncture in one of the side rails. It was fortunately on the inside on the panel, but just barely. Its only visible if there is no bedding on the mattress, so a piece of white duct tape was a good enough solution for me.
The bigger issue I have is with the vinyl. Its very thin and seems to puncture easily. Also, there seems to have been an issue prior to packaging with some mysterious small brown flecks in a few areas that doesnt wash off. I didnt notice them prior to assembling the bed, otherwise I would have returned it. I scrubbed them with a magic eraser for several minutes with little success. I worry that it may be staining from prior mold growth... its hard to say. There wasnt a mildew odor. Thankfully, my nightstand covers this area. There were also some dirty handprints that washed off.
I paid $210 for this bed (king) and I would buy it again, but I would also expect there to be minor cosmetic issues.
