The instructions are a bit tricky.  But I got it together all by myself (with the help of a few boxes and bags to prop up some things) and it's pretty good so far.  It's not 5 stars because I don't like that you need to screw in the slats to the frame--and not in a way that is easily done and undone.  I, like many, imagine that I'll have this bedframe long enough to need to disassemble and reassemble the frame in a new room, which means easy assembly/reassembly is a must.  That's the only bit that is not reversible though, so if you take a chance and don't screw in the slats you should be ok on that front.
