The bed was easy to assemble by myself.  The instructions were clear and I'm very happy with the quality and workmanship.  Many of the beds I looked at had sloppy welding joints or just didn't look well made.  Not the Espinosa by Leggett and Platt.  I was hoping for a heavier frame but I watched the weight on the other beds I was looking at and this was one of the heavier ones.  I don't think (at least in the price range) it's possible to get a true iron bed. This bed isn't fllimsy, just not heavy.  I love the look and the price made the bedroom redo happen quickly!
