I saw mixed thoughts in the reviews for how much time assembly would take. I loved the look of this bed and the storage options, so I went ahead and got the Bed and the Headboard. They arrived at around noon. It was a total of 7 boxes for the Bed and Headboard. I figured with my wife getting home around 6, I would have plenty of time to surprise her
I was wrong.
The total assembly time for bed and headboard was 12.5 hours (this includes time unpac all the components). I did this solo, and they do recommend 2 people to be fair. Ive build plenty of bookshelves, beds, dressers, and desks from , but this was another beast altogether. Many of the parts arent labeled, so you just have to eyeball it and hope you are using the correct ones.
After the 12.5 hours, am I happy with the bed? Absolutely, it looks and functions wonderfully! However, I would just pay someone to do this if I were to ever do it again. It was far too tedious.
GREAT BED! Assembly, not so great
