I just put this together yesterday and am extremely pleased with it. I had a friend help me, but I probably could have done it by myself, if necessary. The queen-sized box spring and mattress fit into the base of the frame perfectly and the bed is very sturdy. I had been concerned about there being a large space between the mattress and the bottom of the headboard for my pillows to fall through, but it fits fine and there is no gap at all. (I have a 10" memory foam mattress and it sits on top of a split queen box spring.) I know that some of the other reviewers had difficulty putting the bed frame together, but I found it pretty straightforward. Of course, I enjoy these kinds of projects, so mage I have a different perspective.

Anyway, this is the first piece of furniture that I've ever ordered online and I'm really, really happy with it. I highly recommend this bed.
