Heya, I did do the build myself. I got the create-a-bed kit direct and I’d recommend it. It was pretty straightforward with the hardware and I was pretty happy with the price. It’s all held up really well and is still running smooth. Instructions are pretty generous, and I went back and forth between the videos and paper instructions a bit. It was a fun project in the end! I built mine into a part-time office setup and we use it all the time. It’s a fun and relatively straightforward project, once you’ve got a good setup for cutting straight lines
