This item was exceptionally easy to assemble! And it looks great. We are in a temporary house while our home is being built, and our 12, and 15 year old daughters who use this bed loves it so much! When we move, it'll be a guest bed, and we couldn't be happier.
The only modification we made were... thicker wooden slabs purchased at a hardware store to add extra sturdiness to the body weight on the mattress. The wooden slabs the bed came with were pretty thin.
