Based on the price, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this bed. No issues with assembly.  Like others, the foot in the middle of the outside rail on each side takes some getting used to. Could be a real toe knocker. One suggestion - tighten all screws and nuts securely, especially the 4 on each side where the two side rails join. Even when really tight, this joint will move some. Also liked the velcro strips that hold the slats in place. Overall, well worth the price
