How strong is the bed? My son while playing with friends normally runs over bed and mattress. What tools are required to assemble it?

Hi Tapan,The South Shore platform bed can support a distributed weight of 350 pounds. To assemble the new bed you need to have a standard screw driver, a hammer, a Philipps or Robertson screwdriver. You can also contact our customer service for an assistance over the phone. We'll be more than happy to help you :)

I think if you have 1 or 2 friends help you hopefully 1 of you is mechanically skilled have some good tools is the tech mechanic or machinist would help and you can take it apart pretty easy leave it in big chunks put it in to pick up an of you go I know because they did it personally I think it's harder to setup the first time so it's quite move all

No tools. when I got up the morning after Christmas, my 7 year old grandson had it 85% put together into a bulldozer. Very fun. I recommend it.

It took my husband a little over an hour to put it together. It is a very sturdy bed, my grandson loves it.

Xmas gift for grandsons, so haven't assembled yet. Attaching legs is the only assembly required, so expect basic tools e.g. screwdriver, crescent wrench, etc

By now you understand it's not assembled. My daughter and I had it together in about 1 1/2 hrs. No special tools required

One solid piece of wood (very heavy) with drawers underneath. My only recommendation if you buy this bed is to get a regular vs deep or pillow top mattress as that makes it really high and may block the headboard piece according to other reviews. We have not tried it. Also you can use a side rail if it is high.

You have to screw all the pieces together. The bed is about a foot off the ground. My teenage daughter loves hers.

My husband and I didn't have any troubles putting it together and got it done within an hour. But maybe that's because he is a mechanic and loves putting things together! So I guess I'm not sure how to answer your question...I'm sure it is different for everyone. Maybe your son-in-law can get an extra hand in helping him assemble it? I do recommend this item over all the other ones I have researched (for the price)

it is my first time assembly a bed, and it took me hours. everything went well. you need different sizes screw driver, an electric one is better. you also need a hammer. it is a really sturdy, decent looking bed, loved it.

Tools - I have no idea. However it was not easy. Besides nails/screws my husband had to use furniture clamps and wood glue. He was not happy with the product. It is up.

The legs must be attached to the headboard. Then the legs are attached to your bed frame. Not difficult but easier with 2 people.

I put the bed together by myself in about 4 hours. It wasn't very difficult and would be quicker with 2 people. The box was bulky and probably 80 pounds. I needed my husband's help to carry it inside. I ended up taking parts out of the box and moving them to the room I was assembling in.

It comes with everything you need. There is going to be a piece of the bed that may need to be bent in the right shape, so keep some pliers handy. Other than it's good

I'm 175lbs. It can handle 2 people, but doesn't feel very strong. It would also depend on the weight of your mattress. It's a minimalist bed.

I think it's pretty sturdy. better quality than I expected. Mine is at the foot of my bed and I would be comfortable with a toddler using it as support. I just do not know about it being okay without being against something.
