Its very nice when put together but it is literally taken apart to the single spindle. I thought maybe an hour to 90 mins to assemble, it took me about 2.5 hours and Im very good with this stuff. I highly suggest using a drill with a Phillips for the slats. Every slat requires 2-3 screws to be stable and not move. It is super nice when it is out together but you really need to follow the instructions the best you can. The nice thing is that the hardware comes in a seal packed and labeled sheet which is great. Its a ton of work and very sturdy but you need to take your time. I am assembling another one this week and Ill be sure to use a drill this time around. Some homes also do not line up or might be a tad small, so having a 1/4 inch bit is very very handy.
