When the bedframe arrived (which was when the shipping estimated) it was apparent that it was heavy duty.  It went together easily. The instructions are a little difficult to decipher.  It helps to have two people to steady the pieces.  The frame offers a couple of openings to attach to a headboard.  Also, the frame functions from twin (without the center bar) up to a king.  It offers a lot of size options.  Pleased with the choice.
