very easy to put together for 72 year young lady I only had problem lining up 1/one screw w/inserted dolly... very well made.. bed was packed well in VERY thick card board gift type box .. no metal parts to bend w/all wood pieces and support boards for mattress had felcro on the ends to keep slats in place... Why 4 stars..the platform frame is 6"s to long for my sleep number mattress so I put a 6" deck board there a long bed pillow over the added board and and prop my bed pillows up when bed is made and all is good   very sturdy but I will have to get use to the middle support leg on side when I make bed I keep stubbing my foot, but I can deal with that
