I put this together myself . Took me a couple hours . I’m 5’4” . I did need a power tool for the slats to drill in the screws . The middle support for the slat broke off. Small scratches on the bottom of the head board . Otherwise I love this bed frame ! It’s well built and solid ! I purchased a king and it’s huge ! With my memory foam mattress I did purchase a low profile box spring . I thought the mattress sat to low . I’m not comfortable with just the 4 slats for support either .
