Assembly was easy and actually kind of fun. Kudos to Mellow for adding humor and logic to their packaging, product design, and instructions. Set up took two people all of thirty minutes. The hex key ratchet included in the box is definitely a god send to anyone in the process of buying and assembling boxed furniture. 

The frame looks and feels quality and is very sturdy under the weight of two people, two cats, and a 18 mattress. One or two places had raw wood exposed, but these were on places that faced inward and are not visible after assembly. 

The only downside is that youll need to use velvet pads for the legs if you have hardwood flooring. Everything else about this bed is great.
