Very easy to assemble, took about 30 minutes. Good quality for the price. Faux leather looks great. YES YOU NEED A BOX SPRING! Sits nice and high off the ground.  Four wooden support beams across to hold box spring. You will have to install the beams where you choose, no designated hole spots for the screws. Would definitely recommend this bed frame.

Pros: Very sturdy and durable. Seems like it should last.
