I got impatient waiting for a man to come build it so me and my 9year old took on the task. The directions were pretty simple as far as the steps but lacked details. For instance, the indented groves where the screws go, they all need to be facing the same direction. We put the wrong wooden poles on the wrong side. The screw holes were facing opposite directions which required us to take it apart and reassemble. The entire bed is put together with an Allen wrench. If you have a power tool with that attachment you’ll be good to go. We did it by hand and our fingers hate us! The wooden slates that hold up the mattress is put together with a screw driver. This definitely taught me being an independent woman is not always fun lol. The bed is perfect and low to the ground. My 1 year old loves it and her big brothers tried to take over her room. I ordered an 8 inch memory foam mattress from Wayfair to go with it. 8-10 inches is recommended for this bed. I think 10 inches would’ve made it too high. It’s definitely worth purchasing but use power tools and a man if possible lol.
Directions suck, bed is perfect.
