The bed was easy to assemble but you do need a drill to drill in the slats. Very soft material and it’s convenient that the headboard is adjustable so you can make it lower if you’d like. You do have to make sure you watch your feet when walking around the bed because you can hit your foot on the legs at the bottom if you aren’t paying attention. Overall, this was a good purchase. I haven’t slept on it yet but I did lay down with my mattress on it and it is pretty sturdy.
