Really nice frame, sturdy, hard wood. The slats are engineered to fit on with Velcro, very sturdy. The directions have no words, just pictures. There’s four blocks that fit on each corner which is the trickiest part. They fit only one way but it’s the trickiest part. If you don’t get it right, it won’t be flush. The directions are the weakest part. Made in China. Very sturdy, just what I was looking for in a frame that does not move or slip in any way.
