The bed does come in pieces and you do have to put everything together, but the tools needed to do that is included in the packaging.
The assembly is easy enough that if you can put together a Billy bookshelf from Ikea or know how to bake a cake from a boxed package you should not have any trouble getting this thing together.
A couple of pointers:
1. make sure you have enough room to get this thing together. I assembled the bed in the location that I use the bed and it worked fine, but if that space were smaller I would have had to construct the bed somewhere else.
2. Pay attention to how the pieces are shown in the instructions. The bed definitely has an up-side and a down-side (the wheels go on the down side). I can see how someone could easily get some of the pieces together up-side-down if they weren’t careful.
Other than that, the bed is strong enough to hold at least 300 lbs and uses a twin size mattress. An adults could sleep on this bed without trouble. I didn’t find the bed uncomfortable, but some people could have trouble getting up considering the bed holds the mattress about 3 inches off the ground.
I would definitely buy this bed again.
Exactly as advertised.
