I was able to put this together by myself in 2 hours. The quality of the fabric is better than expected especially for the price! It’s super sturdy which is a nice change from what I had before. It’s too low to the ground to put storage but that doesn’t bother me. I was able to throw a couple of unnecessary things underneath before putting the slats on. I have a 14inch mattress and it closes the gap between the headboard and the slats. I recommend a low profile box spring if you have anything less than a 14inch mattress.
