The frame is sturdy and should be easy to assemble.  However, each piece in the package was dented at the leg opening so the legs would not slide into each other as they should have.  I had to pry open each piece so the legs could be connected together. It did not appear to be the result of damage during shipping, but rather from the manufacturing side.  I’m very handy so I was able to fix it but without the tools, others may have to return this item.
