YES, this item requires buyer to put it together That is why it is priced so affordable. If you click on service for assembly it will cost abt 171. The process is not complex when you read and study the details in the illustrations . Dont think you think you know where the piece is placed. I used a hex screwdriver instead of the allen wrench.I recommend a full inventory and inspection of each part BEFORE you start.I gave four stars because altho the bed is a good solid construction, it does squeak when getting in/out of it.I have a call into CS and they are very good at returning your calls.Overall, Im happy with this purchase. It is beautiful and functional.
Grandma and Aunt put it together.
