Easy to put together, took about 1 hour. The trim does look a little cheep, but wouldn't deter me from buying again. The slats are 3.5 inches apart and it was recommended for our mattress that the slats be 3 inches apart, and will therefore add a plywood for a solid base.  We received 1 week earlier than expected delivery date, came in two boxes, the headboard being around 60 lbs. GREAT BED FOR A  GREAT PRICE.   

Pros: Easy to assemble, Price, Fabric looks expensive 
Cons: Slats closer together
