Very easy to assemble, 1 hour or less. High quality, beautiful wood. Very strong support with no box spring required. Makes no noise when sleeping or other activities. I am very pleased at the extreme value for a very reasonable price. Easily worth double the price paid. The only thing that would be better is if it were available pre-stained. I plan to give it a nice satin stain in the future. I would highly recommend and would purchase again.
