It's a nice-looking bed frame and was pretty easy to assemble. I needed help holding up the headboard while I attached the side pieces but was able to do everything else by myself. Knocked off one star because the mattress only sits on top of the frame rather than being held in place. The slats upon which the mattress sits have tape strips that you're supposed to use to keep the mattress from moving around but we didn't end up using them because we have a fabric dust-mite over our mattress so, even with tape, it would likely not hold in place well. Other than that, we really like it.
