First, use or buy allen head bits and use your drill for all the allen head bolts and screws. If not, you will hurt your hand(s). The l-shaped tool they provide (and you probably have) is inadequate for the job. That is because some of the pre-drilled holes are too tight. You will tear your hand apart cranking. After a few cranks, I was happy to find that I had allen head bits in my tool bag. Most of the rest was easy. At one point, it was necessary to have another set of eyes to line threads up to insert a bolt. You will also need another person to lift the upper bed onto the lower one. The finished product is nice
