Assembly was super easy. Everything was number/letter coded and the instructions were clear. All bolts fit into the pre-drilled holes in the wood head/footboard and the tube steel frame. Bed feels pretty sturdy and has held up so far with a memory foam mattress and a combined 380 lbs on it. Quality is way above price point. As others have pointed out, it does sit low, but for me that was a feature, as i did not want to have a tall bed. I would definitely recommend this bed!
