The bed frame is easy to put together and sturdy. My only two complaints is the CA warning label did not come off easy and had to use goof-off to remove it. It was placed right at the bedpost where you can see it. The other complaint is that the three supporting bars did not have a lip to prevent the boxspring from shifting back and forth the boxspring could fall down into the bed frame at the head or foot of the bed. I put clamps to clamp the supporting bar at the foot to the edge of the bowstring to preventing shifting. That is why I gave it 4 stars.
