The bed frame arrived exactly when it was promised, which was critical for me moving in within a tight timeline. I paid for someone to assemble the bed, so I can't comment on the ease of assembly but he finished the assembly within 45 mins. The bed is very sturdy and I've not experienced any problems with it so far. It looks neat, simple and stylish. Only issue some people might have with it is the lack of headboard and the sharp edges.
