Let me start with saying that i was lucky to get a king size for $244 . The same room, the same mattress, but the room started to look like a nice hotel room and the mattress felt like a brand new great mattress. Idk how and why but my bed became so much comfier. Shipping took less than a week. Assembly took about 2 hours ( me, a female, and 2 teenage boys). Was not hard or complicated at all. The instructions are very clear, i also found a video on youtube just by punching the description into the search box but i did not really watch it. Looks very nice, very sturdy. I absolutely love it. P.s. It is very handy to have an extra Robinson screw driver so another person can help you to speed up the process. An electric drill was very handy when screwing the slates to the base.
