Although i am very happy with the cost and solidity of this bed / if you follow the instructions, there is not enough clearance between the floor and the platform to install the trimming on the edge of the platform with a normal sized screwdriver. I am not sure it is possible to complete the task with a power/drill even. If you purchase this product, be sure to put the edging on the outerplanks BEFORE you attach them to the base.
Other than this, the instructions were easy/to/follow. I am a woman of 53 with a medium build and was able to put it together, except for the aforementioned molding, by myself with merely a screwdriver and the included hardware. Took about 1.5 hrs on my own.
