Back is a bit thinner than expected, my only real complaint. Everything went together cleanly and solidly, had all the parts, and though it would have been easier with help I did it myself. I did need a power drill for the slats as holes were not predrilled in the frame for that. Bought to be a daily bed temporarily, and I expect it to be great for that and as a guest bed thereafter. Put a good traditional 10" mattress on it, some very pretty pillows and bedding, and I'm pleased overall.
