This is my first ever assembly project! The box was very heavy and quite frankly the prospect of putting the bed together intimidated me. However, I could not find anyone to help, so I dug into it on my own. This was fairly easy and I was even able to manage the top/canopy part on my own. This took about 4 hours to complete - but in the middle of the project I drove to the store and bought 4 different pair of screws and washers to use to on the feet that attach to the middle support beam. I felt that what was included was too flimsy. There was a small part of the headboard where the paint rubbed off the mental, so I placed it so it was non-front facing. This is going into a spare/Halloween room. With gentle use it will safely support a child or an adult. I wouldnt recommend rough-housing on it, but its sturdy enough and attractive. Overall, Im pleased, and I did it all myself, which means you can, too!
Great for the price!
