Assembled myself. Wasnt In a rush so took 4 evenings about 8 hours But took my time
First you want to construct this in the room where this will be in
Second there are (4) boxes which are labeled 1 thru 4 only open one box at a time itll keep your work organized.
Three I used some gorilla glue for the wood dowels and permanent parts.
Four if you ever have to move this after you removed the slats and outer rail the bed will separate into (3) parts easy to move
Five I had to contact customer service immediately upon delivery because recvd an open box and was worried about missing parts I mentioned (via email) I wasnt going to build this in a couple weeks I received a reply almost immediately not to be concerned about missing parts even I put this together at a later date!!
The bed is very sturdy! No backer (bunny) board is needed under your mattress as well.
Ill leave a follow up in a few months to update if any concerns
