We bought two of these beds for our kids as the younger one was transitioning out of his toddler bed. I don't think they were too difficult to assemble and the instructions seemed pretty clear, but we opened the first box, pulled out all the pieces, and decided to punt and pay someone else to assemble them. A guy we use for handyman work put them both together in a couple hours. They're very cute and we decorated them with sheer fabric for canopies and fairy lights to make them extra fun.
However, what I didn't give much thought to before buying them was how much more difficult it is to change the sheets and make the beds. You basically have to lift the mattress out to put the fitted sheet on and tucking in the top sheet and comforter is a PITA. When I'm tucking the kids in or getting into and out of the beds with them, I keep bumping my head on the roof or the roof railings (they're pretty low). And all those railings and that roof require dusting, which didn't occur to me when buying them, but of course they need to be dusted. Honestly, they're a bit of a pain in the hindquarters, but the kids LOOOVE them so I'll be fine with the extra work for as long as they're happy in these beds.
