This bed was not only pretty easy to assemble, it's actually VERY sturdy! I am very satisfied with the look and the ease of comfort. I don't feel wood in my back, and the slacks are so sturdy. My 275lbs brother jumped on my bed, and there was no movement. I'm happy with the quality as well, the jewels don't have a chance of falling off, and the upholstered look is so elegant.
