Easy to put together. It was packed securely and without issue, but comes with spare wooden bends in case of breakage in the future. I love the lightweight-ness, makes it easy to move around fully assembled. I use it in a spare room, and it's been comfortable enough for guests, so I haven't drilled down into the adjustments of soft/firmness. I just stick the plastic rings in the middle. Gives a nice height/substitute for frame and box springs.
