Just assembled this yesterday and it was pretty easy to go together. I have a sleep number bed and ended up using part of the plastic base to support the mattress so it was not sitting directly on the metal rails.

I also use blue loc-tite on all of the screws so they would not back out over time.

I love the height of the bed off the ground, however I am still thinking of getting a 3 or 4 inch riser as I am a bit tall and I like my beds to sit a bit higher. This is nothing against the bed itself more of a personal preference for me.

I would highly recommend this bed for an inexpensive bed frame.
