It was straightforward to assemble.  Give yourself space to work and just set aside a couple hours of time.  I think the quality is pretty good.  No creaking or noises, and feels stable.  Only thing I’d note is that the legs/frame look kind of spartan, whereas the headboard itself is nicer looking and well-padded.  So, just wish the legs looked a little more substantial, but they are sturdy nonetheless.  For the price I think this is fair/expected quality.
