Being the strong independent woman I am, I ended up building this bed by myself. Overall, not a terrible experience, but I want to note a few things.
1. While this can be built alone, I would HIGHLY recommend having someone else there to help you. Itll be much easier and quicker with a second set of hands. I built this in about 4 hours by myself.
2. Pay VERY close attention to the instructions. They are not always super clear since they are just images and there are no written steps for a majority of the process. Its easy to end up with some pieces facing the wrong way, as I did. I had to disassemble and reassemble twice.
First time was because instructions werent very clear and I had something facing the wrong way. Second time was due to my own lack of critical thinking. Ill admit that.
3. Be sure that youre aware that this will come in 2 separate shipments. I was not aware of this until I scrolled deep into the description and the shipments came about a week apart. No big deal, but I didnt pay attention and want to note this since it wasnt initially made clear.
Overall, decent experience. Almost all of the screws and pieces fit together like a glove. I had a couple of screws that didnt glide like butter but were still easy enough to use. One of my support bars had a slight bend in the end (attached photo) but its still sturdy and was easy enough to install.
Im very happy with this, even given the swear words and prayers to whatever deity out there would listen to my pleas for help during the assembly process. Only docked points due to the instructions not being the most clear and the slight defect in one of the support pieces.
