The instructions weren’t quite as bad as some of the reviews indicate, though I’m used to putting furniture together by myself, as I did with this piece. One of the drilled holes was a bit off which made it difficult to get the screw in and I ended up stripping it, but the other support screws in the area is t causing me to worry about not getting that all the way in. This would certainly be a lot easier to put together with two people, but I was able to put it together by myself in a few hours. It’s good quality in my opinion and I’m happy I chose it. With my tuft and needle mattress on the frame it reaches about 20-22 inches from the top of the mattress to the floor.  The nailhead trim is even and clean.  I would recommend this.
