Really easy set up. Love the fact it is 18 inches off the floor. Allows for a lot of storage underneath bed and for a larger than normal duvet or bedspread for the bed. Using a 12 inch mattress so height to sit on bed is great. I am almost 6 feet tall so it is great to sit on the side of the bed and my feet do not touch the ground. Metal frame easy to set up. Legs unfold and all snap together. The wooden slats are attached together by a large Velcro strip ( 2 pieces). There are 2 strips -one near top and one near bottom-of double sided tape which the top tape is removed just before placing on the mattress. Keeps the mattress from moving on the frame. No sides on the frame to hold mattress in place but have not found any movement with the mattress to date. Very satisfied.
