Really comfortable and easy to assemble bed. I did not pay for the assembly, set aside a couple of hours and did it myself. The instruction manual that comes along is really adequate for anybody that can operate basic tools to be able to put this bed together. Great storage space underneath the mattress, that is easy to access, courtesy the spring system that comes shipped with this bed. Highly recommend for anyone trying to get a compact Queen size bed set with storage. The height of the bed is also perfect after you use it with a box-spring. That doesn't necessarily mean one requires a box-spring, it just varies on your taste and comfort.
