Bought this for my daughter. It was it hard to put together even with a teen who is clueless about tools. We put a 10 inch mattress on it which make the low foot board look a bit off. It is a light frame and one of the tubes on the headboard was dented in shipping but I was able to flatten it out to slide the bottom part of the leg into it. I will suggest wrapping the center,  side support leg on the side you get in and out on with something. We all have hit our foot on it. Overall it is a great inexpensive, frame.
