Read reviews that mention:
This thing took my boyfriend and I two hours to put together. It was a bit of a pain to assemble but once it was together I became thrilled!
The bed is wonderful. The directions aren't terribly hard to follow, just getting the right angle on some of the allen wrenches was obnoxious.
I would advise you to add a box spring, as it sits very low to the ground with just a mattress (as you can see). The drawers are spacious and roll easily out from under the bed! I also love that they "latch" into place when not in use so they don't roll out on you unexpectedly
