Love this bed. Quite easy to put together, even by myself. (have put together lots of furniture over the years). Package was very heavy so I had to unpack it outside and move the parts in a few at a time. No problem!
The only issue I had and why I am not giving it 5 stars is, once together, and the slats in place, there was a large gap between the top set of slats and the bottom set of slats. There is metal there, but it is lower than the wood slats. This meant the center of my new mattress would be pressed down lower while lying on it. I wish there was one more slat added to cover this issue. I went to the hardware store and bought myself a piece of wood slatting to lie over the metal cross bar that took care of this.
