It's definitely a quality frame.  It did take 2 people to put it together at the end.  I assembled all pieces & had someone come help me, wasn't too bad at all!  My only issue is with the 12" futon mattress I got for it, it's a little hard to put it up & down, (got queen size so frame & mattress are big & heavy!) otherwise I'm super happy with it!  Love the pop up side tables on both ends, didn't know those were there, bonus!!
