Using power tools I put this together. I was NOT using that little wrench they included. All together including breaks it was about 2.5 hours putting it together. We bought the 5 inch Lucid brand mattress off to put on the bed and the fit perfectly!!! We had NO issues with the instructions. Only thing I recommend is opening the smaller box FIRST and doing step 1 and 5 first. Where you put the headboard and footboards together, so you can move that box out of the way. Then open the super long box and move on to step 2 and follow the instructions!! Have fun! Edited 07/30/19.had the bed almost 4 months had to go around and tighten the screws on the bed, was super wobbly. So after a couple months go back and see if everything set right and tighten it up! Buy it again.
My 5 year olds Love this bed, and so does mom
