Easy to put together— if you follow all instructions
I will preface by saying that I put together a LOT of furniture for myself and others, so I had experience going in. And I do a TON of it by myself. If any of my experience can help another person put this together, that is excellent. First thing: Find and give the instructions a once over. You’re not reading in detail, but you are getting a feel for each step and knowing which items you’ll need to complete each step. Second thing: Organize and inspect your items before you get started with any product like this— it’s just good practice. Other reviews for this item stated that some of the pieces were missing or unfinished. I found no problems during my organizing and inspecting, but if I had done, I could have saved myself a lot of time and effort. Third thing: If an item is heavy and you have the space or ability, move pieces in a few at a time, do that— this is also a good time to recheck that everything is present and looking good. Fourth thing: You CAN do these things on your own, but if you CAN find help, do. I put this thing together all on my onesie (it took about 3.5 hours, not terrible considering all the pieces). It would certainly have been easier with another person—especially when assembling the lift portion—who could have held it up or worked the tools while I held up the frame, but a chair served my purposes. Fifth, and final, thing: Use your own tools. Yes, these things usually come with “tools” and they do work, and it is nice, but it is easier and friendlier on your wrists to have your own tools to work with. So far, the bed is steady and looks good— I’ve had it for about two weeks now— the lifts work great and I have heard no squeaks. The storage underneath is amazing! If anything about stability or quality changes— I will amend the review. Good luck! I hope you have as little trouble as I did putting it together! Read more
