I can't speak to the assembly experience, because I had someone do it for me, but this bed frame looks great, other than being less black than I was expecting (the espresso color is very dark brown, not black, as it looked in the photos). It didn't appear that anything was missing or damaged, but I guess the downside of that is all the styrofoam you'll have to toss in a landfill afterwards (note to Wayfair -- many extra points if you had a system of collecting/reusing all that packaging material). The product does smell for awhile also. 

Pros: Value, design.
Cons: Smell; lots of packaging
