Assembly was straightforward. The Alan wrench and regular wrench supplied are all that we needed.  Seems to be sturdy.  The fabric feels soft, and things were well built - no issues with assembly or operation.  Good value for my money if it holds up.  So far, it seems like it should. I'd buy it again.  Using this for my daughter who was ready for a more sophisticated style of bedroom. (Goodbye fantasy castle, hello modern contemporary). The cream color goes nicely against walls painted with SW "Sea Salt"
