Assembly was a bit of a hassle. One of the threads were missing in one of the legs, and others had plastic junk stuck in them. The sides of the back panels were extremely difficult to squeeze into place. Somehow managed to get it assembled. It looks good, feels pretty sturdy. Make sure you get a 12" mattress (they say 10" but 12" is better), or plan to add a box spring or mattress pad to equal 12". Otherwise the bed will be very low.
