I am fairly experienced at assembling furniture, and this was by far the most elaborate piece I have ever had to build. Be sure to clearly separate and organize all of the screws in separate and labeled areas to ensure that you do not use the wrong screw in the wrong area. Installing the slats and the spindles for the back portion took the most amount of work. Everything basically requires hand tightening with a screwdriver as most powertools would be too strong unless you had an electric screwdriver. Instructions were overly simplistic, need to really review each piece and ensure that you have the correct part. Also requires a large area to build the frame and then the separate spindle portion to attach to the top of the bedframe.
Beautiful bed but significant work to construct
