Ok! When I 1st opened the box I was a little overwhelmed but it was extremely easy to put together so don’t let it discourage you. I will say put it together with plenty space AND spread the cover for the box spring in the beginning so when you’re half way through you have it almost on(if that makes sense). Only because once you put the slats on you can’t maneuver the box spring without the cloth on the slats breaking. So AGAIN before you put the slats on transfer it to the cloth so you can just zip and go once the slats are on! Other than that, it is very sturdy.
