This is the coolest bed ever! I was skeptical getting an metal bed that didn't need a box spring, but took a chance on this one. Not only is it sturdy, but it is quite decorative also. Putting it together didn't take a rocket science degree, in fact, it was simple. Every screw matched up easily and the only tool needed was an Allen wrench that came with it.  It wasn't labor intensive and actually fun. The final test came after putting on the memory foam mattress and laying on it. Las night I had the best sleep in quite awhile!!! And one other point, if you decide to move, disassembling will be easy. Best purchase I've made in a long time!
