The bed is very attractive and a perfect value for the guest bedroom I recently remodeled. The box as delivered is extremely heavy. UPS left it on the front porch, with warning labels that it was over 70 lbs. (considerably over).
I could push the box into the garage, open it, and take the contents to my 2nd floor bedroom, a few pieces at the same time. I was undaunted by the instructions, warning that two people have to assemble the bed. I was able to do it alone in a relatively short period of time. The instructions are self-explanatory and everything lined up without a problem. There were two areas where I deviated from the book of instructions: I did use a cordless power screwdriver in some places simply because my hand got tired. I was VERY careful to not over-tighten the screws while using it, and it did make the job easier.
The final step is to put the side moldings on, which was a bit difficult to do by yourself, as they need to be held in place and screwed in from underneath. Installation was made much easier by marking where the screws were to go, carefully drilling small guide holes (just indentations really), then using a short handled screwdriver to set the screws. Following another reviewer's review, it will be a nice touch if the particle board top surface (that the mattress rests on) was painted to match, but this is easily remedied after the fact, if desired. I'd recommend this queen flatform beds to anyone final result it.
