I didnt know just how good my new memory foam mattress was until I put it on this beautiful bed frame! I put it together myself (61 yr. old woman). It was fairly easy, although I would not have turned down an extra set of hands. The instructions were straight forward and the kit came with extra pieces and a great tool. I decided to wait for help to use the tape that is designed to keep the mattress from moving, but then forgot about it since it hasnt budged at all. 
I highly recommend this bed frame.
