1. Instructions were easy to follow, all parts were clearly marked.  If you are a small person (I’m a 115lb woman) I recommend a second person just for assistance in attaching the headboard to the frame.
2. Bed is incredibly sturdy.  I tried to wiggle it around, see if would hit the wall, etc before putting the mattress on- it did not budge.
3.  Very firm for a platform bed.  Provides better support than my old box springs did.
4. Very high quality (and looks high quality) for the price point.  
I bought this for a temporary apartment situation but I think this bed will follow me for years as the bed for my future guest room.  Seriously, a great purchase.  Highly recommend.
