I bought this bed because of its simple design and the very very good price.  I was shocked to open the very small boxes (2) to see that there were so many many pieces, reminded me of pick-up-sticks.  It took me all evening to assemble the bed, and wine helped.  I would recommend using a power screwdriver to make any reasonable progress.  At first I hated the bed - I think that I was mad at it for being so difficult to assemble - but now that I have had it for several months I am so glad that I bought this one.  It is very small simple frame, and does not take up much more space than the queen mattress alone, which is good since I have a small bedroom and was pushing it to purchase a queen.  The bed is elegant, when assembled.    

Pros: Great value
Cons: Super challenging to assemble alone
