I would not purchase this item again.  The long side of the frame was dented and the welding on one of the legs was off making the bed crooked, and not a perfect rectangle.  Because of this, my mattress will never lay straight, and the bed will always look off.  I was too far along in building the bed to stop and return the items so instead, I used pliers to bend the joint so it would somewhat fit.  I'm hoping this will not jeopardize the integrity of the fame itself.  It's easy enough to put together however, on each end of the slats a sticker was placed that stated "this side up" with arrows pointing up.  The other end stated the same yet, in the opposite direction.  This could be confusing to some however, I'm not sure if it even mattered?  The wooden slats that hold the mattress are thin and can be easily broken.
