Frame was easy enough to put together.  This seems obvious, but be sure to pay close attention to images in assembly instructions.  I misread one image, and was then forced to disassemble an hour's worth of work.  This, to be clear, was entirely my fault, as upon closer inspection, the instructions were quite clear.  As for the quality of the frame, I couldn't be happier.  It's very sturdy, and moving it from the upright to down position, or vice versa, is easy.  My wife and I had been looking for a futon frame for a little while, and we are completely satisfied with our purchase.
